robin,
i say 'to the email group situation'--not 'peculiar to this email
group'. i.e. all email discussion groups. the 'particular' applies to the
'scenario.' I was struck by that moment at which two mutually exclusiveness
views were proposed, Candice's and Kent's, as to the identity of David
Hess's and Kent's emails. That was the moment of no return. wasn't it?

I think it's still an open question of how far it +is+ peculiar to
poetryetc. subsubpoetics has gone belly-up in the last few days, something
comparable if not identical to the poetryetc scenario (and pace Kent, we
can't abolish or ignore history) happened not that long ago on
british-poets. (Poetics[Buffalo] admittedly goes on in its happy, boring
parochial way.)
So have we just experienced a localised flamewar or the inexorable march of
entropy?
Dunno.
