note that Carol is making the same arguements that spammers make "you can just hit the delete button". and the delete buttom doesn't work with those that recieve the digest version of the fluxlist. no ones' "freedom" is being repressed. it is also not an issue of liking his poetry or not as personally i am ambivalent towards it but some people aren't. so the worry is over the health of the list. say someone doesn't like it and sees 7 or 8 (sometimes more) Bennett poems a week that's just one (or more?) person(s) unlikely to participate in the list. or dissmiss it as a bunch of people wanting to cram their poetry down your throats if you are stupid enough to subscibe to the list. ofcourse "fuss" can be fun too. "some people" owe me one..... jason pierce rep.
