Good call, Roger. Though of course, since Tim's original post has been sitting on AM for several days now, the issue is moot. Google will definitely have been by and indexed the page by now. But it's a useful reminder: we should all be careful about cutting and pasting other people's words from one thread or forum to another. I'm sure it doesn't matter in Tim's case, but it might for others.
As for whether your intervention succeeds, that will depend on whether the site was being scanned at the time. If you beat Google's robots to the punch, then yes; otherwise no.
As for the larger question, I think it's a silly policy. Poetry is "well endowed," so they may continue to publish with paper and glue for longer than others, but I suspect that e-zine publishing will indeed be the way of the future. There's still the tricky question of how to make that pay, but I think that the sheer pressure of numbers will eventually drive everyone on line. We are living in a transitional time.
