Still you need to be shrewd for your effort to stick.

I have to agree, at least in part. I have complained that the top person for months could not possibly be popular because their poems (all 13) have low ratings and they haven't submitted one in months. This fell on deaf ears. I have been noting my popularity and a friends popularity. They both generally go up and down together in a slow cycle of several weeks. It makes no sense.

The people at the top write hundreds of letters inviting others to comment their poems. That PH encourages this with their stupid if well intentioned Treasure Island just adds fuel to the fire. Don't get me wrong, I do appreciate intelligent, caring remarks like your own friend Spock, but I note that you do not include pleas for me to visit your site and read your poems either, which is why I most certainly will read your poems from time to time. You are a mensch, not a snake oil salesman!
