The more you bring up these "prominent poetry folks," the whiffier this
gets, Kent. I don't know what you have in mind, but you upset a lot of
people on this list last time you tried to make Poetryetc your personal
playground, and I daresay any attempt at ROTC maneuvers of the versified
kind will have the same effect. Take heed, sirrah!

P.S. The sentiment of the list seems to be that "the tendency of thought
[Lind] represents" is far from "worth confronting"--the whole business is
beginning to bore me anyway.
