If it's good [2], we print it.

"Print" is a figurative term right now. By financial necessity, we are online only. If funding can be achieved, we will make the bound paper thing and send it out to cool people. For now we just operate electronically, and it's for cool and uncool people alike.

[1] Our compound is eight acres. We ask seven so that we still have room to dance
[2] Good: it's as simple as you think, even if you think it's complex
