   Adopting the usual strawman arguments when caught in a corner, tick   
   dick?  So I will make it easier for you by explicitly asking the   
   question in case the point was too subtle last time: In terms of   
   quality writing, what difference does it make whether the writing is   
   considered poetry or prose? Do try and answer without ad hominems as   
   they tend to dilute your response to well beyond pointless.

   Wow. Let me get this clear: You *don't* think that quality writing   
   will shine through irrespective of the medium employed?!   
      
   So you're saying that it's the medium that governs the quality of the   
   writing?!!!   
      
   That's a spectacularly shallow and jaundiced view.   
      
   It does explain a lot, though.
