Hi Everyone,

We have now completed our distribution of the latest issue (Winter 2010) of Classic Physique Builder Zine (CPBzine)! So all our subscribers should have received it as a pdf attachment to our distribution email.

We did, however, have some error messages come back from the following subscriber numbers: CPB58, CPB84, CPB85, CPB95, and CPB278. So if one of these subscriber numbers is yours and you didn't receive the Winter 2010 issue of CPBzine, then it could be that you need to send us a new email address or that you had a spam filter on, etc.

It is also possible that some subscribers might not have received their issue even though no error message was sent back to us. So, if you are a subscriber and didn't get the latest issue, just send us an email and we will resend it to you.

Thanks again to all the CPBzine subscribers around the world! We hope you like the latest issue. Your enthusiasm, feedback, and donations keep us motivated to press on with our mission! If you like what we are doing, don't hesitate to spread the word!

All the best,

CPB (Anthony)
