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.              --              --- SoupGate-DOS v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
