Yes.

While there *are* some links to fanzines posted elsewhere, the vast
majority are posted on that site.  The "links" are internal, from the main
index.   In addition to all the fanzines posted -- and I'd particularly
recommend Earl Kemp's eI (Earl is a fan of my vintage, a Hugo winner for
Best Fanzine, the chair of the 1962 Chicago Worldcon, and a long-time
professional editor) -- you'll find my column of fanzine reviews, which
also ran in the WSFA JOURNAL and the clubzines of several other areas in
the U.S. and Canada, just shy of three years' worth.

Bill Burns, who hosts and runs the site, does lots of extra work for the
fanzines he hosts, including creating printable PDFs for fanzines (like eI)
meant to be read on-screen.   Bill also posts a variety of side-features,
such as the growing addenda to Peter Weston's WITH STARS IN MY EYES, the
NESFA Press book published for this year's Worldcon, where Weston was Fan
Guest of Honor, most of the addenda culled from various e-lists Weston is
on.

Not at all the same thing.
