Robin, are you trying to be opaque? Is there some gnomic lingo I'm not
getting here? I really, repeatedly, cannot understand what the hell your
point is. Roger is free to publish or not publish whatever he wants, but
your previous post imputed some official connection between the list & the
book. None exists. I was in fact dubious about the project from the start,
but people are free agents & can do what they want. Is their some conspiracy
theory floating around out there that "Poetryetc" had "editorial control"
over the anthology? Nothing could be further from the truth. Forgive the
exasperated tone, it's been a long day.
