Perhaps Michael and I disagree, but I don't find much to deride in this
newsgroup.  Sunny, for example, is as consistent as they come.  Of course,
there's always the footshooting Mr Inconsistency himself: he creates one
of the most bizarre realities I've ever seen.  Ayuck yuck yuck.

Those who have been claiming that it is nearly impossible to publish
in this country unless one peddles commercial twaddle do not know what
they are ranting about.  Perhaps "Captain Carnage" will argue that
since he heard the truth of the matter from some unpublished genius
on CompuServe, his opinion is definitive.  Whatever.

I looked it up in the latest edition of _The International Directory
of Little Magazines and Small Presses_.  The book is big, with small
print.  They claim to have 4000+ entries.  Under "fiction" they have,
I estimate, 800+ entries.  Under "avant-garde, experimental art" they
have 100+ entries.

This is, of course, ignoring all thematic considerations.  Thus, a
weirdo fiction treatment of golf might sell better with a golf pub-
lisher, and ditto for just about anything else.
