While it was off topic, I never for a second believed it was political. I would have thought that a political post would be something like "I just wanted everybody to consider voting for Eric the Aardvark, he is a member of the <expletive deleted> movement, and has awesome policies about Quantity Surveying. I really don't like that Ethyl the Anteater seems to ignore the beauty of Surveying"
I have seen others in newsgroups post poetry before - In fact one of the favourite poems I have is from the Comp.Lang.Forth newsgroup, where they take screaming at each other to new and exciting levels to the point where a bunch of us are only there because its a great read while sitting in a comfy chair and eating popcorn. I shall repeat it here: COLORING Sarah Hall ManeyColoring outside the lines is scary business Some days I don't have the courage for it at all On my *big, bold* days, though I let my red crayon just streak across a line Then I swirl my purple and orange out there with it in perfect freedom no lines Coloring outside the lines is lonely, too I'm the only one who doesn't get a gold star on my paper The teacher frowns the kids call me weird or dumb or retarded Why don't they see that I'm not behind them... I'm out in front *running freeoutside the lines* It would be nice to have a friend who colored outside the lines, sometimes, too... Would you?
