I would like to extend an invitation to you to our small corner
of the net. Please, let us know if this interests you as is, or
if more information is needed from us?
Sincerely,
Richard Oakley,
Founder- Alt.Poetry.Comments
If you want to visit a poetry room dedicated to poetry, give
Richard a ring for directions. Spam-free, but otherwise wide open.
I'm out of here for good, but would love to see more of the writers
I read for pleasure dropping in over there.
Your presence (and various personae) will be greatly missed here, Barry.
This was my morning cup of coffee, now coming here just feels crummy.
Make no mistake, the group has been ruined by one southern-fried piece
of garbage. No one else here, with all their problems included, could
make that happen.
I could if I had no life and no talent! The problem is that some see this
as a battleground as it's the only place they feel is theirs. The Topix
invasion of various butt remoras for a Dreckweasel didn't help.
Post by Dental RiverThe group Richard is hosting was meant to excise the problem. We hoped
everyone else would move the feast over there and continue. It's still
a good idea, but as I've noted to Richard, writers will go where there
is the most attention. Can't blame them.
There seems to be a marketing problem while the circus is in town.
Not to put too much into this but while Google provides a free service, it
left the implementation a bit wanting. More to the point, killfiles would
help the Usenet medium for those who use Google groups to read here.
I'd suggest a free Eternal September account and a newsreader but that
might be a bit much for some. Mine allows posts to be marked as pests or
killfiled and would be ideal for those only interested in the poetry
content.
Post by Dental RiverI would miss you too. Hate needy-sounding threats, but feel impelled
to change the scenery. Wish we could all do it at once.
I was a bit shocked to see almost nobody since last year joined and stayed.
If nothing else, it's a worthwhile read. So, you indeed need new blood.
You do have the ability to cull mistakes, they tend to fester in this
medium.
