So, it appears that after the poetry thread is declared dead on arrival, it revives itself. Weird.
Anyway, moving this topic in another direction (without rhyming couplets), I want to say that not having fun is really a, ahem, serious pastime for a lot of people. People (yes, that's a WW) criticize Wikipedia for taking it seriously, and perhaps it's because a lot of editors can't find a modicum of joy in editing in Wikipedia. I wonder how you can spend hours doing something so serious. The reason I slave away on it, doing a lot of grunt work, is because it's fun to me (in the end, at least). I hope other editors can feel the same way.

I mean, seriously, why would we edit it for FUN? bibliomaniac15 --- On Sat, 3/14/09, Durova <[email protected]> wrote: From: Durova <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [WikiEN-l] Poetry thread To: "English Wikipedia" <[email protected]> Date: Saturday, March 14, 2009, 7:31 PM Let's stop fighting like caterwauls and doggerels. ;) On Sat, Mar 14, 2009 at 7:12 PM, Ray Saintonge <[email protected]> wrote: > Durova wrote: > > There was no prior conflict as far as I know.
