I’d have to say she was probably better off not knowing. But hey, there’s another idea for the PoCo: reader caption contests for photos of teh poetz doing adorable things.

Okay, so maybe that wasn’t the most apt of comparisons… especially since one of you hadn’t even heard of it. I think subconsciously I was influenced by the fact that your abbreviations rhyme — the HuffPo, the PoCo. But snorting is appropriate, because I remember quite well the reaction of nearly everyone when Ariana Huffington started her site: a huge collective snort of derision. Now, a single HuffPo post can nearly derail a presidential campaign.

Dave, you are too kind. Having you say this is just as exciting as becoming the HP of the poetry blogosphere, for me! And we are all fans of The Mr. Dave Bonta over at the PoCo, and of Postal Poetry as well, of course. :)

I didn’t snort cos until five mins ago I didn’t know what the huffington post was (well I am bwitish)….but thanks anyway, Dave *grin* (oh and Dana and Blythe of course for kickstarting it). I also got to say I LOVE postal poetry…….that is going to be huge too.

“Because it’s gonna be huge, the Huffington Post of the poetry blogsphere. You read it here first.”

*snort*

(Really, I snorted when I read that. No kidding.)
