*blush* I peek my nose in to r.a.sf.f for the first time in ages, and get a BINGO on the egoscan! Wowie zowie!

Honestly Alex, you ought to be done under the Trades Descriptions Act. I fired up Netscape specially to go and do the egoscan, and all I get for my effort is "this fanzine is a bit of a giggle"? I ask you.

I'm not even sure this post will take, but it's no big secret that authors do an "egoscan" with Google (or whatever) from time to time to see what people are saying about their books.

2013 March, Robert Runte, “Left-Over Pieces”, in Broken Toys‎^[7], number 14, page 10:
Bit disappointed by the lack of mention in this issue. I haven't actually read any issue of Broken Toys since my own letter in 2 (the rest remains on my 'to be read' shelf, which I have only recently realized is short for "to be read when I retire") but thanks to the wonders of the "find" command, took the liberty of egoscanning the last ten issues and did not find myself mentioned once.
