Lifetime

[hawkida]

My "lifetime" membership of the Red Dwarf fan club has expired. They finally put together a new fanzine after a ridiculous amount of time - over a year I believe, and I didn't get one. I chased to see if it had gone astray or there had been some database error or similar, but no:

"We have had a revision of complimentary members list.
[...]
So in affect any previous complimentary magazines are no
longer available. And this would require you to become a
member again, if you so wish."

I'm not going to pay, and I don't think I actually want written material from people who write that badly.

So does that mean I'm dead?

Perhaps.

Translating through Google English->Chinese->English gives this:

We revised the list to add members.
[...]
Therefore, any impact in the past, there is no free magazine
Re-use. This requires you to become a Member again, if you wish

I'm sure that's the same trick MFI uses for assembly instructions.
