  I have no such feeling, even though I too have been readina the genre
  since , uhh, long ago.  I enjoy the 'hard science' (e.g. Asimov, Clarke)
  and the 'updated western' (e.g. Heinlein, Star Wars) as well as
  sword and sorcery.
  My ultimate library will contain the complete works of Asimov (ok,
  so it's a b.i.g. library), clarke, Heinlien (sp), Niven, deCamp,
  and Douglas Adams, not to overrlook Tolkein.
 
  The term used to describe it is of less intrest, to me, than
  the content so described.  So go ahead with sf, sci-fi, or even
  speculative fiction.  As long as it's well written, entertaining,
  informative, and mind-expanding, I'lll read it with pleasure.
 
  One man's opinion...
      (sorry about the typo's.  this tube doesn't do ISPF)
