Beer can turn nasty - believe me (or at least my stomach) on this point.
On the main point, your comments are useful, but not central to the
matter in hand - in my view, of course. I'm not interested in Will's
potential excuses, just his genuine views on why he thinks it is okay to
disrespect an audience by posting poems with typos, and then not seeing
fit to apologise to them for not proofing the copy before posting.
