Just to clarify, Mark. Kent wasn't invited off subsub. Jordan Davis just
axed subsub completely. Jordan (in the context of subsubpoetics, anyway)
is committed to the idea of non-moderation. Rather than moderating his
list, he chose to just delete it. The reason he gave for deleting it was
that he was tired of having Kent Johnson's harangues in his in-box. By
the time Jordan pulled the plug, 2/3rds of subsub's subscribers had already
departed. Is Jordan out there? He would know better than I the details
of his motives.
