<HTML>I confess, I concur with everyone who notes how UGLY  Z magazine.  The font is so tight and the pages so gray I hardly ever make the effort even to go through a single article. Plus this leftish version of mortification of the eyeballs preaches to the choir worse than many other mags. Frankly, except for financial compensation, I'd rather get letters to the editor published in the Indianpolis Star, conservative daily rag owned by the family of former VP Dan Quayle which somehow saw fit to publish several of my missives during the time I lived in IN. And the letters always had interesting graphics, something I am utterly incompetent at. But in addition to esthetic upgrades, I would love to see leftists embrace the right to sleep! How about The Union of Revolutionary Nappers?

He told me that a few years ago when I asked what it was about some article that I'd submitted to Z which made it unsuitable. I quickly learned not to submit articles to Z again. </BLOCKQUOTE> </HTML>
