Yeah, the subs did that. I read the story, quite liked it, sent it to 
the editor in chief for consideration, he didn't like it enough for the 
print magazine but bought it for online use. I made no further 
contribution after I fwd'd it. I resigned as COSMOS editor a few weeks 
ago, and the final story I got accepted, by Malaysian doctor and writer 
Fadzlishah Johanabas bin Rosli, is due out next month; it's about a 
devout Muslim robot. Just in time for Xmas, y'know?
