   People look at this different ways.  Back before websites were taken   
   seriously, you'd buy one issue of a small press zine, receive it in the mail,   
   look it over and decide whether you'd be content to see your story printed in   
   it.  And, you know, they don'   
   t call it Black Hole for nothing -- back in the day, I sent a couple   
   manuscripts to digest-sized semiprozines that kept them for a year.   
      
   So, yeah, if you write some experimental short story these days, you're not   
   gonna have a hard time finding a little magazine to mail it to.  But I really   
   have no idea how to feel about sf e-zines when I look at them now.
