Dear Mr. Bing: I was pleased to see a reply to my poem "No Choice" coming from the net. Yet, with all due respect for the reader and a genuine interest in criticism, I found your remarks, such as "[a line] deleted for the sake of sanity" and "is this guy for real", not constructive at all. I almost resent the way you dispose of the work that took me two weeks of composing and many years of observation. I would rather appreciate a reply containing an earnest discussion of content with helpful suggestions for the improvement of style. Sincerely, Alex Sherstinsky P. S.: I posted this reply to the net because the mail kept bouncing back when I tried to use the mail's "R" command. Any flames caused by the presence of this article on the net are not intentional.
