You will feel my soul, motherfucker.
Ignore me. My inability to articulate is how I almost "broke up the band" in the early days.
Well, I mean, you all don't *own* the term sincerity. (Or maybe you guys do? That'd be weird.)
Could you tell how much I was trying to not implicate 'new sincerists' in my post by my continual cartwheels to make sure I make explicit it's a general, even straw-man version of sincerity I was talking bout, in response to Ken's question?

Hey Tony!
No, we don't "own" the term, and I'd prefer that we didn't.
But, just so you know, I was joking around with this. I think that your post (though, as usual, over my head) and the comment by the fellow who's doing a PhD on sincerity were really really good. He basically articulated the reason why I sort of balked at the intial reaction to the sketchy ideas of me and my po-pals. NS wasn't ever supposed to be anything--it was just a term I seized on to describe a direction in poetry that Andy and I were beginning to recognize and, I guess, champion.
The NS, or at least MY NS, is descriptive, not prescriptive.
Cheers.

Cool, I just wanted to make sure it didn't come across as something aimed at you guys. My owning bit was trying to be a weird joke as well . . .
Obviously, you guys picked the perfect term for fireballing a big majority of the important questions end up leading to. I'm pooped, and maybe not making sense . . .
It looks like I may be able to make it down to Atlanta -- hopefully, we can talk and/or armwrestle over beers.
yo,
