Well then, why don't you go conduct that investigation?  And when you're
ready to level specific charges, come back and tell us about it.
Why don't you? You're closer than I am. But if you want some advice, you
 could start by asking for their accounts to be made public...
I wrote a note beside my computer that you would respond exactly as you did: 
"Why don't you investigate it?"
The point I was making is that it is very easy to make insinuations of 
improper behavior.  This lyst would be even more unpleasant than it has been 
of late if we all took to doing that.  Given that you don't have any proof 
for your theory, and given that you aren't willing to do the investigation 
that *you* apparently think would give your theory credibility, your comments 
come across as nothing more than a vendetta by someone with a personal ax to 
grind.
I've purchased Ashton Press zines.  I've held them in my hands.  I've seen 
how many pages they have. I know what type of binding they use. I recognize 
that some of the art work would involve extra reproduction costs.   I've also 
done two B7 zines and 43 issues of the Tarrant APA, so I know what it costs 
to do fannish publications.  There is no way Ashton Press can be making 
money.  It would be easier to get rich going sofa to sofa and plucking out 
lost change.  Both Annie and Leah do zines for the love of fandom.  I 
appreciate their efforts.
