The problem with Ira's poem which many will find is not a literary one but
a technological one: look in the archive and you'll see just how it can be
destroyed by a browser which omits spaces. My ascii-driven mailer - PINE -
is fine for such things, so I had no difficulty spotting the words etc,
could dig the form, in every sense - but others will find the whole thing
just swept up to the left margin (as my own beliefs seem to be in the
political climate of our country at present).
None of this justifies the initial impolite and misinformed response on a
list which is self-proclaimedly for practitioners.
