True, and unfortunately, unless they get collected into a "Year's Greatest" type book, they sometimes disappear forever. On the other hand, some of them go on to be immortal, such as "I, Robot." On the third hand, some of the short stories and novellas flesh out the peripheral parts of larger books or series, like The Dark Tower, for instance. I've got a big 1000 page collection called Legends, and it has a story about The Little Sisters of Elutheria, a group of vampire nun/nurses who worship cockroaches. Couldn't stretch it into a full length book, but it's a great, fast-paced read.
