   In article <1109443661.389750.4570@z14g2000cwz.googlegroups.com>, Will Dockery   
   says...   
      
   >The point is, JRS, you're *not* a good poet, judging from this poem.   
      
   how do you know what a good poet is? what is a good poet, dockery? someone who   
   doesn't make fun of you?   
      
   following your logic, everyone who's ever read one of your pieces is a bad   
   poet.   
      
   aamazing logic you have there.   
      
   >In part two, perhaps your next poem will be better. Or not.   
      
   dockery, is there some delusion that you've created for yourself that makes you   
   think your opinion is going to matter at all to anyone else in the world?   
      
   i would really like to know that. how you came to feel that way about yourself.
