Well, John Kinsella, given the problems previously encountered with
Krupoetry (aka R U Outavit), do you not think it odd that the following
message should be sent to to some (presumably long-term) members of this
list seeking (see end of message) subscriptions to a defence fund for
him/her? We know that Kru "ripped off" the email list of the former
poetryetc. Obviously, he/she has provided those email addresses to his/her
defenders.
As one who has been involved in pr/advertising/direct mail campaigns over
many years, I know how important it is to precisely target the audience for
your message. "Cc. every poet on earth". Including those who hate your guts?
Excerable marketing practice! I could say that words fail me, but various
expletives (chief of which is: Fuck Off) spring to mind.
Any others on the list receive this message?
(BTW, John, do not construe this message as a criticism of your list
administration - because I just realised you might read it this way - we all
know the efforts you undertook to "get rid of" Kru. Not your fault that
he/she is a good hacker. His/her fault for bad marketing!)
Cheers,
Viv
