On p.o.d. books:
Not all p.o.d. books are self published. Many (BlazeVox) have standards and
their catalogues contain books from many exciting and good writers AND they
are well made and intelligently designed, from cover to lay-out.
On quality of on-line journal editing:
In continuation of Bob's points, we might also consider the time and effort
of on-line magazine editors. I would dare say some of them (like Anny) would
view themselves as deeply involved in the occupation of editing and
presenting work, spending as much time on it, if not more, than the average
editor of a print journal (many of whom have separate genre editors, grad
students to go through the slush pile, or whatever). As with anything else,
the person creates the quality of the endeavor. And for many there is only
one reason to do it: love (not career or notoriety because on-line journals
don't generally have the cultural prestige that many print journals enjoy).
