Just thought I'd mention (in case any DB moderators
are within earshot) that I tried a few times the other
night to get a VIP subscription via the online check option.
It failed repeatedly. For a while it said my routing/checking
numbers were invalid. And *each* time, when I went back
to correct it (tho' I have no idea what was wrong and it
didn't give a hint), I had to type *everything* over:
name, address,...everything.

Finally it seemed to accept the banking info, then failed
with some cryptic error 279 or something.
I have no idea what that was all about.

I'll try again soon to join, via credit card this time.
But I think DB should know that the online check system
is pretty bad, and they probably lose subscribers as a result.

Regards,

Molly (VIP to be)
