- oh, i like to express angst when i have it! but i have noticed a trend on
- this group to judge other peoples posting on how genuinely angstful it is. the
- guy was saying our discussion sounded inviting...surely he has some angst,
- right, but he's not going to talk about if his posting is slammed. I've seen
- alot of people get critiqued cuz they didn't have enough angst or the right
- kind of angst.
-
- sorry if i got overly aggressive...but i had just had my pooh quote knocked by
- the letter before yours and i was feeling angstful about this group.

- rich.
