        I am lost, sir.
        Who is talking about aspersions ?

        I am an incorrigible poetry lover.
        I love poetry to the exclusion of everything else.

        I very clearly said that I post poems that I liked.

        I will post the poem only. Ismail is certainly a better
        known icon and a staunch admirer of Krishna Sastry.
        I may add a note if i think it's necessary.
        I thought everybody outthere read him and you
        will ask me not to post them.

        OK. I will.

        What made you suspect you are "putting yourslef in harm's way" ?
