Ahem!  I admit US Flagship turned into a real boondoggle, but I subscribe to
both Paper Mayhem and PBM Report and both show up with regular frequency.  Did
you send cash or a check?  Did they ever cash your check?  Both are "hobbyist"
magazines, meaning no one is making a living off of them but rather producing
them in their spare time.  This means that occasionally issues are a little
late, but I can put up with that based on the fact that the industry doesn't
change THAT quick.  Both are good magazines other than Paper Mayhem sometimes
has problems with getting people to submit articles.  Paper Mayhem is a larger
more thorough magazine, while the PBM report carries a lot of news that tends
to be a bit faster paced and shorter in content.  The addresses are below.
