This is another netiquette matter, he said
schoolmarmishly. Did you just suck the names
off the list and convert them into your private
mailing list, or did you read the submission
guidelines? Enterzone is not on that list to
advertise us as recipients for every means of
self-expression. We agreed to go on that list
to provide a service for writers and artists
looking to submit to publications. That means
we expect writers to read our guidelines and
follow them, which in our case is to send a
query message discussing what it is you want
to submit and seeing if we're interested. If
we are, we will then ask you to send us the
submission and we will be overjoyed to read,
discuss, and perhaps publish it. end of sermon.

p.s.: i am getting more and more mail lately, as
i'm [sure] we all are, and i wonder if you would
mind if i republished our little exchange here in
the zine to illustrate, almost as if in the form
of a play or dialogue, how i feel about e-mail and
mass-mailing?
