powerdesal Posted December 22, 2006 Share Posted December 22, 2006 TwasChristmas day on the forum,The saddestday of the year,The membershearts were heavy,For them noChristmas cheer.In postedthe moderator,A nastyman, and hairyA post fromsome far corner said“here comesthe Christmas fairy”.The modbecame quite angry,His wrathwas hard to take,Hispostings were quite threatening,And madethe members quake.“I’ll makeyou an example,Of what canhappen when the Forum startsto get full up withSarcastic gentlemen..You mayhave had it easy,Those daysare dead and gone.Yourglasses will stay empty,Of puddingyou’ll have none.The membersstayed defiant,Thosemembers staunch and true.Theythought of those more timid, Even thosein Katmandu.They facedthe mod’rator bravely,And raisedtheir empty glass.“we don’t wantyour Christmas pudding,Send it upthe Khyber pass” Notes: 1. In the use of the phrase "gentlemen" it should be noted that the phrase is generic and includes gentlewomen and also those of all genders who are not, in fact, "gentle" 2. The description of a moderator as "a nasty man and hairy" is not meant to imply that all mods are nasty, men or hairy, Each adjective could be replaced with nice, women and 'smooth skinned' as appropriate to each individuals personal wishes. A Merry Christmas to all, and best wishes for the coming year. [:D] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dick Smith Posted December 22, 2006 Share Posted December 22, 2006 Yes, I take your point. Perhaps we should leave alphabetical order up to individual preference? You could start with your favourite letter, and then work forwards in least-favourite order. Of course, you would have to know the librarian very well in order to find your favourite books, but that would be a small price to pay for such a significant advance in the whole troubled area of personalisation of the life-experience in the 21st century...
