	Like most publications, Annie, I don't pay the writers.  CORE
doesn't have any source of funding, therefore it isn't able to pay
anyone.  (I'm assuming you aren't aware of the fact that commercial
traffic is still forbidden across the NFSnet backbone, which means
selling space would also be forbidden).  Literary magazines are
notoriously poor payers -- electronic or not.

	As Robert mentioned, it is a fact that editors for paying
magazines read CORE.  I can personally guarantee this since I am an
editor for *several* paying publications.  One pays the writers, but
not the people who actually work on it.  Usually I ask people I've
published in CORE to submit to the paying journal.  But since CORE is
a waste of your valuable time, please don't.
