   You mean mass-market paperbacks?  I agree.  I keep waiting for my   
   favorite authors to come out in that format.  As a result of which,   
   I've read very little recent SF.  It's been years since I've read   
   any of the Hugo nominees in time to vote on them.

   My brother still subscribes to The Washington Post.  The only change   
   is that it's delivered by an adult in a car, not by a child on a bike.

   That depends on which website you're on.  If you find yourself on a   
   tarpit site, simply abort out of it and start over.
