The Long Thread Song
After a perticularly winding dicussion on the uk.religion.christian news group, Frank Lane wrote ... 
>Could we do something about the length of the header in this thread.
>It's so long it doesn't fit onto my screen.
Which inspired Angela MacKellar to the following, irrelevant to the actual thread ... but I liked it and quote it with her permission. 
The long thread song [1]

So long you don't fit on my screen
I wonder where on earth you could have been?
You started innocently long ago
About a simple subject we all know,
But now you've overtaken all our space
You've grown so quickly, it could be a race ...
See who's first to break Outlook Express
With every fancy-tickling outre mess-
Age.
I'm sure the journey was worthwhile
But now I leave you with a smile.
Goodbye, I'm glad you kept it clean
But,
So long, you don't fit on my screen.

[1] just me being wide-awake past my bedtime, and in whimsy mood :o]

Followers of any newsgroup will know what Angela's talking about! Please if you enjoyed it.
