OF MORE THAN PASSING INTEREST

Dear Mr. Browne;

The thing that disgusted me most about your fanzine, September issue, was the questionaire. You imply that there are two distinct types of people; those that like science fiction and those that like the people who like science fiction, (that is some kind of mutual admiration cult, no doubt.)

You say your interest in stf is 10%, and your interest in fandom is 90%. Translation: Interest in stf and fandom 10%, interest in egoboo 90%.

Yours truly,

(NAME WITHHELD)

We wonder if magazines on Mars have articles about the possibility of Earth being inhabited by strange creatures with only one head.
