So, it appears that after the poetry thread is declared dead on arrival, it revives
itself. Weird.
Anyway, moving this topic in another direction (without rhyming couplets), I want to say
that not having fun is really a, ahem, serious pastime for a lot of people. People (yes,
that's a WW) criticize Wikipedia for taking it seriously, and perhaps it's because
a lot of editors can't find a modicum of joy in editing in Wikipedia. I wonder how you
can spend hours doing something so serious. The reason I slave away on it, doing a lot of
grunt work, is because it's fun to me (in the end, at least). I hope other editors can
feel the same way.

Durova, you forgot the cardinal rule of Wikipedia, which is that any semblance of fun is
strictly forbidden, on order of the cabal. I mean, seriously, why would we edit it for
FUN?
