Clearly I am Not the Only Writer Having a Mental Breakdown

From The Times online comes this tidbit that once again calls into question the mental stability of writers:

"The first novels in Macmillan’s controversial New Writing list appear on April 7. The list pays no advances — leading the novelist Hari Kunzru to dub it 'the Ryanair of publishing.' But one myth that the publisher, Michael Barnard, dispels is that New Writing will publish anyone gullible enough to accept its terms. It has turned away thousands, including one who said that he had sent his manuscript to the CID for fingerprinting: 'He was convinced that we had not read beyond the first page.'"

Now that's what I call paranoia.
