Joe -

Maybe now they aren't <that> good.  Most of their crimes are those of
self-indulgence, and self-congratulation.

But it has to be remembered that:

o They supported and popularised B5 from the onset.
o They had the brilliant John Grant as a contributor.
o They have Dave Langford nth-time Hugo winner.
o They cover a wide cross-section of "the scene".
o Their paperback and hardback reviews have generally been very good.

Having been a journalist myself, I also kind of have a problem with an editor
of a publication using that publication as a tool in a fanboy vendetta.  But
that's just me, I'm whacky that way.
