    A lament

    PING to Mr. G.D. if you want to use this poem on your blog...!
    Thanks for the ping!. I'd like to use this on the blog, and I think I have a good place for it, on the same weekend as "The Red Wheelbarrow" -- you on Saturday and WCW on Sunday. That will probably be in late April or maybe early May; I haven't put
    together an April list of poems yet.
    One thing please, G.D.

    Attribute me as "General Zod" on this poem, and the others if possible to change them...???

    It'll be a bit of work, but I think I can make the changes today. Let me outline what I'd like to do, and I'll start on them if it meets with your approval.

    (1) I don't want to use "General Zod" because that's the name of a copyrighted character, and while I don't know if that will lead to trouble down the road, I'd like to avoid it. (I still remember how Chuck Berry lost the songwriting rights to "Run
    Rudolph Run" because he used a copyrighted character. ' I would like to change the author's name on your blogged poems to "Zod."

    (2) Because it's linked from every poem, I'd also change the name of your PPP article to "Zod" though I'd like to keep giving your autobiographical info including your real name there.

    (3) You haven't mentioned your art, which is on the blog with a couple of your poems and one of Will's. For now I'll leave those, since they're already "all over" the Web with your name on them, but I can change them too if you want. Whatever you decide
    there will be reflected in PPP as well.

    Please let me know asap if that works for you.

    Thank you my friend, I am happy with it all as it is today, no changes needed... just felt a bit paranoid for some reason yesterday....

    On the headers for the poetry posts .... Usenet Groups... use "Zod" but keep my real name on the actual blog... which are very different venues....

    Sound like a plan...?

    Yes, I'm aware that you like to keep your name off of Usenet.
