And so does 8, except that like books and
magazines the work published in 8 is 'out of print'. (Don't usually send a
poem or whatever to another magazine because the first one it appeared in
is no longer available.)

[8 was the case of "having had it accepted for inclusion on an established
poetry web site which has been taken off line and is no longer available to
anyone via the internet."]
I think there's a significant difference -- virtually all out of print books,
and many journals, are still available fairly easily via used book vendors and
public and academic libraries. But when a web site is taken off line,
everything disappears.
The few times editors have tried to make helpful revisions to my own work,
they have unerringly identified whatever was particularly good about it and
suggested that I leave it out.
I have the variorum edition of Yeats, and it seems to me that most his
revisions were bad ones.
