The Nein Quarterly, Leverkühn Edition
People still think there is a NeinQuarterly issued, and perhaps there is, perhaps there isn't. He started a website, or didn't, and it is operating, or not. As the foremost authority on the subject, self-appointed, I can not tell you more than that.
There are still people who are not on Twitter, so many of them do not know about him. I am on Twitter, so I do. Hence, my authority.
