Jerod S. V2.0,

Here's a bit of practical poetry that might summarize this:


When I Heard the Learn'd HBer*


When I heard the learn'd HBer,

When the claims, the conjectures, were ranged in rants before me,

When I was shown the charts and diagrams, to be impressed by them, but not too closely examine,

When I, sitting at my computer heard the HBer where he discoursed with much applause in the chat-room and the bulletin board, and website,

How soon unaccountable I became tired and sick,

Till rising and gliding out I wandered off by myself,

In the mystical moist night-air, and from time to time,

Look'd up in perfect silence at the unchanged order of the stars.



*with apologies to Walt Whitman
