Concerning the big discussion on this net group about the value of 
poems and (related) the value of critics/criticism etcetera...

I feel that poetry, perhaps more than any other form of writing,
is a vehicle for expressing emotions, and that, as such, it is
a very touchy situation to criticise it.  

	I don't.

	What I do is send positive mail to authors of poems that
I enjoy..and (for the most part) the same has been done for my submissions
to this group.

	It seems reasonable to me...

		Anyway...
