   AYOS is being marketed as a sampler to show off the poetry of *all* of   
   aapc's members,   
   but as I've told you it's turned into a vanity project for Team Monkey   
   and assorted   
   trolls, none of which are writing anything on aapc. Except you, of   
   course, under   
   a new sock, but I don't think you'd publish any of that on aapc.

   I don't think it was his list, or that it was specifically aapc.

   The big difference with AYOS, of course, is that it has nothing to do   
   with aapc.

   No, lying Michael. Neither have participated in AAPC since google   
   stopped   
   carrying it, except for one possible troll post each. they're members of   
   your Facebook group; you just use the name of the usenet group for   
   advertising purposes.

   Now, that is funny. What am I supposed to be jealous of? That you're   
   their   
   online "friend" (ie, their ally)? That you praise and publish their   
   "writings"?   
   I'm afraid that's all I can think of.

   Interesting. So it's "obvious" to you that anyone who belittles a poet's   
   work is jealous of that poet? Or does that depend on "context," too?
