well said sixxx. only concern i have is for the "is the poetry section for DF regulars?" part. I certainly hope no one feels that way, cause that reeks of conservatism. (bleh)....so, I would hope that the poetry section is for Poets...and I think it is. For the most part, I still consider myself new (but established) around this forum. I'm "new" because only a few select people know me past this forum. (what i'm about, what i do, etc, etc)... but I found that when I joined the poetry section, I was readily accepted....maybe cause I'm a good writer, so that helped, but even so....you're right sixxx, newbies come n' go like red headed girlfriends..

(AM I AWESOME OR WHAT FOR INCORPORATING THE RED-HEAD THING AND BEING ON TOPIC AS WELL!?!?!)
