He had developed a bad streaking problem that was only getting worse. You may find some copies of issue 7 floating around with these streaks along the top and bottom margins.<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.revolutionsf.com\/bb\/weblogs\/upload\/5\/16905039634a84a4f0a3fd4.jpg\" border=\"0\" \/><\/p>\n<p>So, basically I had to pull out Sanjay&#8217;s guts.

If you aren&#8217;t, then it might take a little while longer. Contributor copies are going out between Monday and Wednesday. Everyone else, you&#8217;re going to have to figure out where the nearest Space Squid drop is. Or send us a donation, and I&#8217;ll make certain that you get a copy.<\/p>\n<p>I am glad that this issue has finally gone to press. It&#8217;s on time, it&#8217;s extra large, and it&#8217;s a damn fine issue with damn fine fiction.
