No thanks. I’m not into running numbers, nor am I good at it. I believe I stated that the pub features many great writers like Britni Pepper and Helen Cassidy Page and more. In fact, yours truly used to publish there but, when I had the temerity to criticize the drop in quality, I was cut. And THAT’S why I call it a “cult.’

I’ll stand by my opinion and, just for your edification, there are plenty of writers here who agree with me. Who don’t want their work tainted by a sea of crap. One more thing: What is the point of comparing Illumination with The Ascent? None that I can see.
