Hello Everyone and Poetry Soup as well.

I am writing this because I logged on this morning and I see I received an email from a member or who claims to be a member asking for my personal email address to have my permission to utilize what I have written in one of my much older entries.  I am writing this because I don't like this and it wouldn't be the first time this has happened.  I once collorated with someone in the past with the understanding it was for fun and for the poetry site only and then in black and white there was the name of the other poet utilizing my work.  I felt used and more and so angered by it all.  I write for the love of poetry and expression.  Nothing further.  I am not about publication.  I leave that up to others.  I further do not like the concept of being approaced by someone who I do not know or who has nothing posted or listed within a portfolio. 

I respect everyone.  May this day find you all well and safe.  Forgive me for such a piece but I felt it necessary to say and to somehow let Poetry Soup know.

Thank you.
