Sorry, Erik, nothing personal to you, but I think this is getting
ridiculous. Someone sent a few poems to misc.misc (which I happen
to like very very much, like many others) - as happened before
and misc.misc never turned into a poem-group - and look what came
out of it. A discussion that involves *much more* articles than
there were poems. Look, people LIKED them, other people have an 'n'
button. *As long it doesn't get out of hand*, nothing is the matter, eh?
But there is with this discussion, why is this discussion in misc.misc?
There are many other newsgroups were it can and should belong, so
why following up to misc.misc? Misc.misc is only for discussions that
don't belong anywhere else, so?!?(-:!?!

Oh boy, I myself am contributing to this senseless discussion.
I'm ashamed of me.
