If he is not interested in exchange of knowledge and information then why offer it to him?
I would take

"SHAMELESS SELF-PROMOTION."

as being somewhat tongue in cheek. But I would not take is as an invitation to critique, or to discuss one's muse. His poems are self admittedly simple and easy to understand. The simple choice on the part of the reader would be to enjoy them or not.

I see where you are all coming from and will certainly admit to having been there myself, part of the pack on the playground LH describes, throwing a barb or two of my own.

As for WAV, I am finding myself admiring his restraint and composure. I shall try to take his patience as a role model. I hope the Moderators soon see fit to correct the vandalism of his poem and that they will take measures to see that such "hacking" does not occur in future.
