Yes - you got a huge guffaw from me, too, Pua!

So glad to know that you welcome diversity of responses. Since the recent troubles on TDE, I have been shy of commenting, feeling the feebleness of my critiques. Due to inexperience, I have little to offer but awe, delight, or appreciation for the experience the poet has shared. But now I know that ALL feedback is helpful to you, I'm going right over there now to give you some!

I prefer it when the critic has some sense of what the hell I'm trying to do. Unless, of course, I've posted something that is actually so piss-poor as to be genuinely incoherent. But ost of the problems I've had at any board have come when the critic and I are just talking past each other--and I'm sure I've been that critic, too.

I just want a little action. Maybe break even. Really, I'll take what I can get.
