Since I posted last night, people have commented in the threads at both http://chronicle.com/blogs/footnoted/index.php?id=636 and http://booksinq.blogspot.com/2007/09/at-least-its-not-outsourcing.html In fact Ted Genoways, the originator of the discussion at http://www.vqronline.org/blog/2007/09/20/muldoon-to-take-over-as-new-yorker-poetry-editor/, has commented in the discussion at The Chronicle.

And, around the poetry web, these poetry lovers have commented:
