I don't know all of the current staff members, and I can't say I have appreciated their work all that much, but if they give a damn about who their editor is or who their competition is, they are in it for the wrong reasons, and they should leave immediately. HotZP should be about the words and the ideas, not the people. If what is written is not funny, it should not be published. If the person writing it is stealing work or feeding off ideas of others, they should go play in the street and leave HotZP alone. If the paper does not come together, it should not be printed.
Failure has nothing to do with getting the paper out on time or arranging a less than ideal staff.
Failure is when an underground newspaper is printed, calls itself Hierarchy of the Zucchini People, and is completely devoid of all meaning and spirit that the original paper contained. The future of HotZP lies in the hands of those who created it, and if it is decided that others can carry it on in the appropriate manner, than it will be that way. But if the peons that call themselves the staff cannot get their acts together and get past all this nonsensical crap, HotZP should end with some pride, and the readership and staff alike should be ashamed at the loss of their ability to appreciate such an incredible entity that HotZP once was.
