SF magazines' circulation numbers in sad decline

@Cory: Yes, let us return to that golden age of politics-free sf, written by the likes of Heinlein, Merril, Tiptree, Asimov, Bradbury and Pohl and Kornbluth! Oh, lost, innocent days!
Its telling that you can't name a single non-political sci-fi author in the list ..

Face it, nobody wants to pay for pretentious supposition (what sci-fi has become) in this day and age of downloadable, free, easy to throw away without feeling guilty, content.
Show me a return to the formats of yester-year, when it was actually worthwhile to pick up a little pocketbook full of fiction and interest, and I'll start paying for sci-fi again. Show me authors who are not blatantly pushing some political agenda, show me people who are willing to look underneath the real covers of modern publishing mechanics.
In short: lets just have more homebrew sci-fi zines. There are plenty of people out there with interesting imaginations; not just the selected gentry ought to have the pew..

Be forewarned, those who buy these things for sisters and aunts who only need to type: the keyboard is for small fingers. I highly doubt the asdfghjkl-acquainted are going to get their WPM where they think they want it with such buttons.
