Here we go again. He finally replies. How about my subscription I guess it
fell in that same crack huh just like all of the others. Auto renewed my
subscription by paypal. But Mildocs never renewed it on the website. I sent
countless emails to Jim and Mildocs with no replies. I personally have
nothing against neither but I don't like giving hard earned money away. Its
been April or May of last year since this has happened. I don't think he
will make it good now he didn't then. Who else has had there money taken
from Mildocs? I'd brag about how good Jim or Mildocs is too if he would just
renew my subscription another year.
