I accidently let my hard copy subscription lapse at the end of 2019 and called for to get a copy of issues 278 and 279. I was told that all back issues are out of stock and that once they got back instock I would receive a call.  Is this accurate?  I can’t imagine they will reprint back issues and understand that although print is nearly dead, they don’t maintain even a small stock of back issues.  

I’ve looked on eBay and they are not available.  Any othe rsuggestions?
