I certainly hope there is a noticeable increase in the market share of the independents as a result of such initiatives.<BR/><BR/>For poetry and poets themselves, it can only be good. <BR/><BR/>Cheers,<BR/>Helen PizzeyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9857818.post-3603163308871340652009-01-07T11:39:00.000+00:002009-01-07T11:39:00.000+00:00Hi, Ben.
