Is this a confluence of spaces? Is an alternative space being created? A more "valid", even "authentic" space? Do the Readers give a text integrity? Somehow there seems to be an irreconcilable contradiction between list discourse and editorial stasis. And then, rejection on board, the failed poet - free will in hand - can take to the cyberwaves and post anyway, (no hard feelings, head held high, better luck next time, "stupid idea anyway" etc). Why bother getting it "judged" in the first place? Who cares if it carries the stamp of approval? I have major problems with this concept.
