   But Analog and Asimov's seem to still be coming out regularly. I suppose   
   they could be publishing backlog, but wouldn't all the magazines have   
   the same proposed contracts?   
      
   F&SF was always an outlier, even back when it was the "Big 6" (Analog,   
   Amazing, Fantastic, Galaxy, If, and F&SF--and that tells you how old I   
   am!), and it's outlasted four of them, so it has had a good run. I have   
   to admit that when it went to the thicker double issues, it never felt   
   like the same magazine again to me.
