  1. er, ok - you could've asked if it was ok to repost by blog. btw that's not a review, just my new issue announcement. I'm disappointed now, thought I'd found somebody who'd actually reviewed it :-(
    Hope you're not just stealing other people's content for the ad revenue.

  2. a. it is listed as a zine promo, not a zine review.
    b. i figure it's okay to re-post complete advertisements for zines; cause, who doesn't want all the free advertising they can get?
    c. i've run this site since oct 2006, and i have yet to collect any ad revenue.
    d. feel free to go click on the ads, especially if you like what i'm trying to do here. i'd love to make some $ someday.
    e. do you want me to remove the ad, and not re-post anything else by you?
