I've just noticed that if one uses the reply function to respond to a
message on the list one's response is sent, not to the list, but to the
originator of the message to which one was trying to respond. Let me try
that again. Or not. Point being, that if you want your responses to be
available to all make sure to at least copy to the list.
On the private art aquestion: even the most hermetically sealed poem at
least communicates to the reader that not everything can be understood in
this world. On another tack, some of the poems I write are deliberately
private in that they are not intended for publication in any form. I decide
this in advance of writing. It's partly so that I don't start imagining
that I'm a professional. Luckily so far at least I haven't placed myself in
a moral dilemma by deciding on this privacy and then accidentally writing a
hummer of a thing.
