Friends and fellow poets!  

I am so delighted to see our new forum, only a month old, up to a hundred and two happy and free and uncensored members!  This is something of an Internet miracle, especially for an intellectual site like this.  But this is a magical place, a free and open site, a breath of fresh air in a dark and narrowing world.  I hacked into our former site, Voicesnet, today, and found it a very dreary and unwelcoming place.  I want this place, our place, to be home for all of us.  And I want you to feel free to contact me if you would like, about anything at all.  I have two email addresses, and here they are:

stevelance@earthlink.net

yowzarowza@earthlink.net

Also please feel free to IM me here on our own onsite system.  I will also accept your telephone calls.  My number is (714) 289-8008.  I regret that my finances do not allow me to accept collect calls.  

I send all my love to all!  I truly, sincerely, honestly care about each and every one of you!  I'm different, and this site is different.  Welcome home to all of you!  You are always at home here, because this site belongs to you.  Be free, be confident; you will never be judged nor disrespected here.  This is a safe place, a sanctuary of ideas.  This is a place to think, to dream, to share, and to grow.

Let the conversation continue!

All my love, all my heart, always, always, always,

Hi +Steven!

I think it is great what you just said. It is not everyone who could post their idea in internet just like that. It is good though, you must feel a sort of freedom by doing it. I will try to learn. But in the same time I would like so much to have your comments on different subjects. You always seem to have a good word for everyone.

Are you going to answer everyone?
How are you going to do this?(your answer) by e-mail?

Keep doing your very very good job in helping everyone despite the big drama in your life with Silke.

Your true friend,
Stella

Stella,

From experience with Steven, I can assure you that he WILL in fact, respond to EVERYONE! He always does, provided that his email is working! But, I think that is all cleared up now!

I have learned alot form my relationship with Steven, as I am sure everyone here has also! He is one of the only true people I know of, Silke and Alexander being the other ones! When you reach out to Steven, he reaches RIGHT back, this I can gurantee you!

Love, Dara

Thank youfor doingthat for all of us, Steven.  It is good to know that if there is an immediate problem that i might have, i can always callyou or email you.  I also do not nned to worry about about having to wait for responses on my posts if i have an emergency. thank you for caring and wanting to be there.

Love, Lexi
