but in usenet, Ms. Thomas, you, meaning the reader, meaning at this moment you,
can absolutely control what you read and how you feel about what you read. you
have absolute control over everything you want to read in this, or any
newsgroup
that is the purest of the pure joy of usenet. YOU, the Reader, have control
over
what you want to read and what you don't want to read.
you have all the power.
you have to admit, that's pretty cool.

i think you are uninformed on this subject, Ms. Thomas. you need to go read
some
of the poetry that exists outside of the US poetry group.
