Did you need him in the first place, even these days? Do leeching middlemen still hold all the hookups?

Trying to get a short story published is like being a sperm; there are a million of you trying like hell, and only one ever seesm to make it through.

Tell me about it. I decided I'd try to query small publishers, since my first novel had no success getting through to agents. Turns out about 90% of them are closed to submissions or (gasp) unsolicited submissions. So, I'm back to square one trying to find an agent. Thank God I wrote something more commercial this time, but I've got a feeling the industry's going to make me do a lot of walking anyway. In the agent's guides, the agencies always try and make themselves look like they're open and expansive, but I have a feeling its an act with half of them. Right now it looks to me like finding an agent's my only choice, and while I don't like it much, I know I have a book with commercial potential, so I don't want to self publish or gamble with small publishers whose sites and titles alike provide no info. I guess the Stones are right. "You've gotta face the news if you wanna sing the blues, and you know it don't come easy". Humble apologies for the long, belligerent rant.
