   >>>>>>>>>>>>>> For instance, all of the characters in any author's fictional

   1) I'm not going to search though 1,000s of Usenet threads for a post   
   that is most likely nonexistent.   
   2) Even if such a post exists, your having taken 10 years to post it,   
   only points out how rarely you engage in poetry discussions.   
      
   You know which thread you posted it in.  You know the name of the poem   
   that you discussed.   
      
   Please repost your critical analysis of it HERE:
