Subscription cancelled.
Damn. NatGeo was a big part of my growing up. I had a subscription gifted to me as a young kid, and I read every issue cover to cover, until I was 18. Mostly, I've continued, though not every issue.

Sad day.
And an angry one. This absolutely didn't and shouldn't happen. Perhaps that staff can build something new. I'll sign up right away.
