From M4 #16:After nearly six years of doing this 'zine I'm not enjoying it as much as I used to or think I should be. The things that have been really annoying me lately are taking this around all the shops in Melbourne where many of them just don't want to know you if you want to sell your 'zine, and you have to constantly lobby to get them to sell it…And pouring in money out of my own pocket issue after issue with no sign of getting a decent amount of it back hasn't helped, either.
