Summary: I hate to flame...

[Heere thayr bee line-eters]

   I really hate to flame people, but I'd like to ask people to not post
underlined poems. This poster loses about half of the underlined characters
and as a result, the whole thing becomes incomprehensible and a pain to
read--not, I hope, your original intent. It'll be easier all the way around
to not underline things in the first place.

   Please, I don't mean to flame anybody. Let's not get into a great
discussion about thr rightness or wrongness of underlining (like happened a
while ago about ^Ls) I'm just making a helpful suggestion.

   This is indeed an opinion; whose fault it is, I don't know.
