A hideous form ;e between humans and an inanimate concept. Anc 11 marriages the energy feedback remained a continual, terrifying, two way process with a dynamism an< that alternately sapped and sustained each partner, used and abused OZ for our own purposes, we hurled bodily from one editorial extreme to the other, we left it and came back to it a dozen times, we cursed it, passed it around and then grew jealous of it. We treated it like a baby and it kicked us in the teeth. We shat on it, spat on it and wasted it. And now that it’s an adolescent and leaving home, none of us can believe it. The names of those specifically responsible for the production of this last issue are listed below. For me to have included the names of the people whose collective energy nurtured OZ Magazine over the past six years would have literally taken pages. They know who they are. Some left happy, some left sadly. A few stamped into the night threatening vengance and jibbering like madmen. Many are still in touch. A couple are dead. All of them deserve medals. It’s getting late and I’m not sure how to finish ... history repeats itself. No space — no time. Felix Dennis.
