Last time I took business 101, it was not the responsibility of the old
owner of a business to make good on outstanding debts, unless agreed upon as
a term of the sale. Why would I talk to Curt when he no longer has anything
to do with the magazine? Just because he now publishes a separate (and very
decent) magazine, why would he give me a free subscription just because
someone else screwed me over?

WTF does OWNING a boat have to do with it?  and what does one's choice of
gas INSIDE their cylinders have to do with how much space it takes up on
deck?
