Incidentally, have you ever heard of Scarlet Street? It's a magazine that is essentially an actual version of all the things I wanted to put into a zine back in high school -- old horror movies and Sherlock Holmes! IT WAS IF SOMEONE HAD READ MY MIND. This was subsequently explained when I found out that it is run by a bunch of middle-aged gay men.
They've got a bunch of message boards up at their website, including one devoted to Holmes (yay), and many very cool interesting people post there (including Bert Coules), and in general I find the atmosphere there far more interesting and welcoming that The Hounds of the Internet (which I used to read regularly, and now peruse occasionally). Anywho, there is a thread there called "Was Sherlock Holmes Straight?", which is fantastic reading, in my opinion. Hasn't been updated in a while, but I was looking at it the other day, and I thought you might enjoy it.
