@stjaerna #FrederikPohl working as a technical writer for politicians and organizations for a big chunk of his life explains a lot, I think. He delivered.

On the other hand, working as an editor for Bantam, he published books like #Dhalgen by #SamuelRDelany and #TheFemaleMen by #JoannaRuss, and being a magazine editor he bought a whole lot of New Wave stories.

Pohl definitely has not been a gatekeeper (pun intended).
