 <authors note: large number of objections by others have not been
repeated here to save net time, costs, etc., see previous articles>

before i start, i will agree that none of this belongs in net.astro
and i have deleted it from my posting list.

why is it that i am more offended by the objections than the
original posting, this is an anarchy gang, if you don't like the
article don't read/respond to it; thats why there is an 'n' key. What
i see here is a call for entries in a very old and venerable 'art
(:-) form'. i have just read some incrediablely racist and sexist
'jokes' and have seen no objections to them, what is it in this that
gets your dander up ? I for one am going to give some serious
thought to coming up with a limeric. (I am not responsible for my
spelling and freely admit that i can not spell).
