Editorially Speaking Hi pal, Unless you are one of those poor creatures who turn immediately to the editorial page as soon as they get their hands on a fanmag, you have probably read enough of this one to know whether you like it or not. If so, run, do not crawl, creep or stagger, to the nearest pencil and tell me all about it. And of course, if there happens to be any - ah - money lying around, you can put that in too. I don't mind. But enough of sordid commercialism. Let us get down to brass tacks - not too far down, of course. The reason why I have inflicted SNIDE on suffering fandom is because it seemed like a good idea at the time. Further than that I can offer no explanation. Even if I could, I don't suppose I would. Why should I tell you everything, anyway? I firmly refuse to apologize for any of the numerous things that are wrong with this issue. Most of them are the fault of the fellow who invented the hectograph, anyway. But next issue - ah next issue will be different. For SNIDE #2, if any, I promise justified right-hand margins, better hectographing, and - possibly - more pages. But that depends on you, you know. Have you got a story or an article kicking around that I'd like to publish? If so, will you trade it for: (a) free copies of the ish in which your work appears, (b) careful copyreading, and (c) no editing at all, except for correction of errors in spelling at the more glaring ones in grammar? Please send all comments, nasty or otherwise, as well as contributions, subscriptions, and exchanges, to Damon [signature] damon knight 803 Columbia St Hood River, Oregon 21
