We haven't gotten our renewal invoice yet, so I guess it's good to
know that the price has doubled.

I called both WB and AnthroSource this morning.  Had to leave a
message at AnthroSource, but I spoke with someone at WB who took my
information and complaint, and said she'd send an email to Mandy.
The WB rep said that Mandy would be able to answer my questions.  I
asked for Mandy's direct phone number, but the WB rep declined to
give it.
