David, Bugsy--
Didn't I respond to each of you at least once? (Well, I said I liked Bugsy's metaphor, at the least.) Of course, calling me a mean-spirited poseur has a way of getting my attention. Or writing a villanelle naming godawful villanelles after me. You know, stuff like that.
I don't mean to be coy... okay, I do mean to be coy, but you guys have been calm heads in this discussion, and your comments doubtless deserved more attention than they got. (I'll have to go through this thread again. The fact that David Upson and Michael Cantor have already responded while I type and I have no clue what they're saying doesn't help--not knocking either of them. There's Lo and Rose--hey there! If this becomes a new Middle East thread, my apologies to the good people of the Sphere, the Neo-Formalist establishment, the State of Israel, the Palestinian Authority, and my mother for giving birth to me.)
