- Have you actually read a copy of this mag yet? If so what's it like and what
- is it that you find so terrible about it? (I ask because I haven't seen it
- yet). You may add Bruce Sterling to the list of people associating with it
- too... If I'm not mistaken he is writing a piece for it.

- Also, you mention "PR mat'l for a new" zine.. yet if this is the same one
- carried by Mark Ziesing then there appear to be 3 issues already.
