I'm going to resurrect the "Re: Claiming Statistics" conversation in hopes
of hearing some reasonable explanation of the following:

I claimed vol. 30, no. 4 (Dec. 2001) of _Language in Society_ on Februrary
13 of this year.  The previous issue had arrived mid-September, and my
expected-on date for it was Feb. 1.  On that date, I searched the UW-Madison
and U-Rochester library catalogs; both had received it.  I waited a bit in
case it was in transit, then claimed, as I said, on the 13th.

The next two issues, vol. 31 # 1 & #2 arrived in due order, and on May 14th
I claimed vol. 30 #4 again.

Today I received a response:  "Not yet published."

The claim was not lost in the mail or anywhere else - the claim response
lists "Customer claim date" as May 20.

Every library I have looked at online that subscribes to the title has
received it.  The Cambridge journals website for the title has a line that
proclaims, "To view a sample of this journal, click here."  When I click
there, I am treated to articles from vol. 30, no. 4.

I am boggled.
