Not yet. I was on the internet again Sunday (while Mario did some
things on *his* computer at his workplace), but I had to use it for some
business related research. I will get around to it, however.

I think that's true. I am a co-host on RIME's poetry conference; and
I'm expected to know all sorts of things there. The regular host of
that conference has giving up offering critiques on anyone's poetry
because reactions are so intense. I still critique, however. People
seem to accept it better from me than from her.
