   I'll try that, it would be excellent to be able to access these   
   rec.arts.poems archives.   
      
   Rec.arts.poems? That's my cue.   
      
   Pandora (Marguerite K. Petersen) posted to RAP in the early 2000s; her   
   last poems to the group appear in April 2006. She wrote mostly free   
   verse, not that bad and definitely not the worst (though her line   
   breaking needed work IMO). Judging by Tom's comments, I think there were   
   personal issues affecting his judgement.   
   Here's what a search for her yields in RAP's google archives:   
   https://groups.google.com/g/rec.arts.poems/search?q=author%3APandora&hl=en   
      
   (As noted, you have to scroll back to April 2006 to start seeing her   
   poems.)

   I enjoyed several of Pandora's poems back then but I'd need to go back   
   there and refresh my memory.   
      
   I'm hoping Mummy Chunk can get rdc.arts.poems added to the JLA Forums   
   lineup, which would make retrieving posts from the Usenet newsgroup   
   archives possible again without having to copy and paste from Google   
   Groups.

   While I'm glad to see rec.srts.poems added to the lineup, I'm already   
   seeing a problem, for whatever reason my posts from 2003 are not   
   appearing.   
      
   Mummy Chunk, can you contact the JLA Forums administrator and ask them   
   to make sure my posts from those years are not being blocked?   
      
   Thank you.
