No, he's wondering, like the rest o us, what world are you living in the we should be jealous of you. Do you think being the most ridiculed person on Usenet is something to be jealous of?

Over there! The veteran behemoth of the Usenet-- blows! And oh boy, does he blow hard!

I am Will Dockery, veteran of Usenet, self-grandest of review of poetry
Look upon my works and beware, take care not to be a "real poetry" ass like me!

Yes, it still holds up after a month's reading. And, as you say, it
doesn't matter whom it's about. So I think it's earned its place in the
revision.

that whom really caught me off guard. i got confused because i wasn't certain if a squirrel could run about a tree...and because of the verb to be....so those two in conjunction with each other (no pun intended) screwed me up for a bit.

that's what happens if the tv is always on. rots your brain. (and/or if you get transferred into public school, maybe). that's where i picked up like, yeah, and dropping g's., the latter two i can easily avoid, but i'm afraid the like is here to stay. :-/// well, maybe not. it might depend on to whom i am speaking. :)
