Further to Judy's points, Ana, usually putting a poem on an online
discussion list is not considered publication, unlike being in an online
magazine. With questions of 'security' though, well, what can one say:
showing a poem to anyone makes it vulnerable, in that sense, if you want to
think like that.But poetry is vulnerable anyhow, and just as easily
smothered as stolen, wilts without the light as readily as swiped.
