[Newspoetry] whither newspoetry

Dear newspoets,
As far as I can tell, nothing I send to the newspoetry list is making
it to the newspoetry list. I get no copies of the messages and they do
not appear in the archives. This, and the disappearance of the website,
and the failure of ISPs to respond to Joe's and my email requests, is
enough to make me want to manufacture an elaborate conspiracy theory.
But it is probably all just computer stuff. Nevertheless it adds to my
loneliness and feeling of alienation, computer stuff does.
This is not a newspoem, though I have sent a couple of those. This is
my way of saying "Testing 123." I have been reading the list with great
enthusiasm this past month, and have even sent messages to say hello
and how I am and so forth, which I don't think anybody got.
So if you get this message, or if you got my previous poems and
messages, somebody let me know so I can resume a more natural
newspoetry demeanor. And focus my newspoetry worries on getting the
site back on the web.
William
