(Moved from another thread discussion with Harry Lime for context):
I Met A Girl
I met a girl
she came from California.
It was in a dream
we knew each other instantly.
She was a little freckled girl
from out of
my high school past.
And she looked up at me
and talked real spacey.
I've forgotten her name
though she told it to me twice.
We talked
a really detached situation.
She said years ago
I was so shy
she thought I was gay.
At this point I kissed her
and put my finger to her hole.
And she looked up at me
and talked real spacey.
I have forgotten her name
though she told it to me twice.
I don't know why it was
that I would think of her.
I made a couple of puns
about her name that made me blush.
But her softness in tone
made me feel all right.
All I want to do
is get in contact.
-Will Dockery / May 8 1982

"Copy MID" worked fine for us. The reason it didn't work for Will
Dockery and George Dance is that they are computer (and in other ways)
illiterate.
I've been using computers since the 1980s and have been on Usenet (via
mostly Google Groups) since 1998.
I am on a mobile gizmo now so that might have given me some problems
getting that function to work.
With 45 years of computer experience,
How long have you been using computers, Nancy Gene?
It seems anyone who has been alive for the past 45 years should have had
computer experience.
Post-editing someone xxxxxxxxxx xxxxx xxxxx
I'll remember that the next time you post edit me, Pendragon. >>>>>>>>
I've no need to post-edit you
You post edited my poem recently.
Karma Bombs???
That "re-edit" was from 10 years ago -- and it was a parody.
No, in talking about your post-edit of "I Met A Girl."
That's different scenario. I paraphrased
You post-edited it, whether you admit it or not.
And so it goes.
I did not change your poem *without acknowledging the change,* then go
on to critique it based on the altered version.
Yes, you did.
I've moved this post over to the poem in question, so we, and the
audience, can look at the archived evidence.
Bullshit.
I told you to post a link to the thread HERE.
I have no way of knowing which thread it is or isn't in (especially
since it isn't in any of them).
