Well, I had your permission, which you gave me at least twice, to use
your poem "Her Lark Colony" in a music adaptation and the few excerpts
I used without your permission were being used to promote that... I
had no idea that you'd allow me to use your poem but would object to a
few quotes taken from Usenet, which I credited to your name, as well.
So sure, as soon as you complained I apologized, and in fact cancelled
the plan to use the poem you given me permission to use, as well.
While you're here, though, why not point out the place where you
imagine I "copped" from the Rolling Stones in the sestina? You never
got around to answering that.
