Actually, John, I think at least partly what happened to the Gaz might have to do with how the site was designed. If a poem gets commented on, it should be bumped up. Even the most stubborn of us might be more inclined to read a poem that appears over and over again at the head of the thread. For better or worse, maybe the poem should get some attention.
I really don't see the sphere in dire straits. If anything I've seen a lot of good new blood in the past handful of years. The most important thing I think is to honestly and fairly critique.
