a point arose about this is not poetry

[Leanne]

1 or 2% of newbs write decent stuff. The rest need to go to AP purgatory until they have done enough penance to allow entrance into Pig Pen heaven.

Dale, that's terrible. Nobody deserves AP purgatory. We have our own purgatory and there's wine.

The fact is, 1-2% of the poetry world writes decent stuff -- actually, even the decent writers probably only write 1-2% decent stuff and the rest is crap. At least here you're in good company, with people who are prepared to help clean up the crap. And did I mention there's wine?

Pfft. Dionysus. Where'd you get that idea, Ray?
