David, to respond in part to your comment about deleting the "deck the halls" threads:
I see that we've got a new situation now. We tried this year to deal with the issue of hiding the poems so as to let people give us unpublished work, and our hoped-for solution failed us.
But I don't think the goal for the future should be to take poems down after these contests. We might have to rethink what's eligible for a contest; it might have to be "previously published only." We want the Distinguished Guest board to be a record that stands, I think.
