Read it, Read it,
Done it, Done it,
Seems to make no difference LOL,
Flogging and dead horses, seem to spring to mind.
Or maybe the one you took to water,
was dead anyway

This is one of the consequences of having a poetry site that focuses primarily on workshop skills. I am not saying this is a bad thing as there are many who benefit from such tutorials, but the downside is that most of the people here are not interested in commenting/critiquing poems that are not generated by folks in a particular workshop environment. Now, I myself am a guilty party also, but not because I participate in workshops, I have the distinct privilege of being a selfish, uncaring, **** who contributes NOTHING whatever to Neo! LOL!!

clean now
thanks to me ...LOL
and all those who drop even a Hello.
When we have some suggestions we can add for the sake of improvement but if it pleases the author to tell him/her that she/he has been read, why not?
We don't need the hitting counter. We can do anyways, can't we?

I think poems should stay on the list until there are three comments.
Two reasons.
Neopoet being a dedicated workshop environment, always has been, it is our Prime Directive, always will be, a poem is undiscovered until there is a dialogue, not just one comment.
Also because "critique don't comment". Going through the undiscovered list and leaving a comment rather than a critique does achieve something, at least the poet knows they have been read, a hits tally would do the same thing, it is really a band-aid approach, it doesn't fulfil Neopoet's purpose or meaningfully help the poet.

On the other hand, you three have probably caused more poets to come back and participate than anyone else. I applaud you and send you a great big weirdelf e-hug. Bless you.
