“Can you give me a couple of options for retaking the quiz?”

= one who has never taught.

“Can you please delete the extra comma in the poem I submitted yesterday?”

= one who has never managed/edited/judged writing events (or perhaps, ever submitted to same…)

“Can you just drop in a water filter once you’ve fixed the garbage disposal?”

= one who has never plumbed.

Honestly, with the blog format over there, I wasn't really sure if people would comment or not. The blog is really nice for ease-of-updating and RSS feeding, and things like that, but I was thinking it might be weird to comment when the poet's not really there listening. And then when people leave comments complimenting the poem, I never feel like it's my right to say, "Thanks!" I like that you comment, though. It sets a good example. If we ever make Rattle t-shirts, I've got one with your name on it! Haha, I love it, Anoth — and you’d definitely win!

Would be nice to read what other people's opinions are...with all the people entering the CONTEST, seems like a few more of the entrants could read the poems on the blog and POST COMMENTS (hint, hint)... ...just a suggestion...
