In honor of nothing in particular,
(and with apologies to Liberty Enlightening The World,
who is, after all, just a dumb piece of copper) let me present
this poetic expression of the meaning and purpose of net.flame:


Give me, you tired, you sore,
You muddled messes yearning to breathe fire,
Your reckless flamage spewed forevermore,
Give this, the mindless, temper-tossed, and dire.
I light my torch to show you-all what for!


	You s of a camel AND a watermelon,
	Charles Poirier
