   Now, Donkey, you know that we're discussing George Dance's   
   semi-fictional character, "Boy George."  We aren't technically   
   discussing George Dance.   
      
   And since George Dance titled this thread "Re: My Father's House / gjd   
   (for new comments)," one should think that he was looking to receive new   
   comments on his poem.   
      
   I don't think you can call anyone obsessed for providing "new comments"   
   on a poem when the author specifically asked for the same.
