   discussions to poetry, whereas certain members of the Usenet group   
   insist on burying any poetry-related conversations under their own   
   self-serving spam.

   Anyone still following Usenet AAPC is well aware that Jordy makes far   
   more than two posts a months -- they simply aren't directed to your   
   attention.   
      
   As to whether I'm "obsessing" over him, I no longer care what he does.   
   My greeting to him should show you that I'm perfectly fine with his   
   continued disruption of your group.  It only annoyed me while I was   
   still a member.

   What do you want, George?  I have conceded Usenet AAPC to you.   
      
   I only drop by to monitor your posts, because I am well aware of your   
   attempts to rewrite Usenet AAPC's history to your liking.

   I have praised Rachel's poetry when I felt it was good; and I have   
   negatively commented on her poetry when it degenerated into a long,   
   nonsensical rant on, and to, Bob.   
      
   Nevertheless I have remained on good terms with her, and still   
   occasionally exchange personal emails with her.

   Uh... PJR introduced the idea of "Teams," George.   
      
   I have studied poetry for over 40 years, and have a better understanding   
   of it that most people who never study it at all (outside of what their   
   required to do in high school English courses).   
      
   My familiarity with Modern verses is less extensive than my familiarity   
   of earlier poetic forms, so I would hardly apply a term like   
   "encyclopedic."  As to my feelings toward anyone who would challenge my   
   knowledge, PJR often did -- and I have far more respect for him than for   
   many other members here.

   I left the 50s group for numerous reasons, the most significant being   
   that it had become a thoroughly unproductive time sap.  I had learned   
   all that I could from it, and the arguments were becoming repetitive   
   rehashes that served no valuable purpose for me to pursue.  Since   
   leaving, I have completed and published numerous books (including a 50s   
   music book), and a monthly poetry magazine.   
      
   And, if I felt that I needed a team to participate in this group, I   
   would have sided with PJR, Horatio, and Gwyneth, who were infinitely   
   more knowledgeable,  and better educated than those of "Team Dunce"   
   (which at the time consisted of you and your Donkey).
