Alas, it's gone!
Scott apparently doesn't appreciate poetry.

Re: Alas, it's gone!
When Scott old T.D. banned anew,
Bilge poets, (there are quite a few)
soon posted with good will
the most wretched doggerel,
haikus, lim'ricks, and one clerihew."For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations,
for nature cannot be fooled."

Re: Alas, it's gone!
Why not? Copy it quick. This is the clerihew, to the best of my recollection; but I have no idea if that's what caused our hosts to delete the thread.

Re: Alas, it's gone!
A lady friend (she was an English major) in college introduced me to the Clerihew. We had great fun with them for months... till we moved on to haiku - which are a whole different, animal - more serious and subtle, even when being playful.
In honor of those college days:

Well... they don't suck
After a game one meltdown
On their opponents they made points pelt down.
And, in honor of the lively lady herself, and her matched pair of borzoi:

Re: Alas, it's gone!
That was the finest thread I've ever had the honor of participating in. It's all downhill from here. Damned censorship!Comment

Re: Alas, it's gone!
I suspect it was the passing reference to a "certain female poster with a 'B'" that did the thread in.
(Although it was rather an apt, apposite and well-deserved appellation.)
