I was now part of the "ALMOST FAMOUS" cadre of writers. I swear, that is what we were being promoted as! Well, I tried to be flattered even as I felt properly put in my place. Our problem is that we are "almost famous". If you are insulted, then I am likely right. If you are not insulted, then I am likely right. We will soon be quite famous and able to say, "I may not know you, but you certainly know me."

I'm enjoying the dialogue but don't have anything to add to it. If you mean that your fellow poets haven't said much yet, maybe the holidays are at play here. I hope that's all it is, at least.
