Dear Pigpen: we need to talk

[Lizzie]

I was kind of hoping that this thread would rest in peace, as I've said my piece. However, such is the nature of the site that any old thread can and will be resurrected from time to time to edify and damn both deserving and unfortunate souls alike. So, now we talk about it, I suppose. And, now that I've said "poor unfortunate souls," I'm plagiarizing The Little Mermaid. At least, that's what I'm taking away from your comment -- plagiarism vs. Plagiarism (the latter being a sin if not a crime). I'm assuming that you're not saying that I Plagiarize -- I'd be the worst criminal ever if I stole others' work only to come away with the drivel that I insist on posting. My work is certainly not as idiosyncratic as yours; however, I feel no particular need to entirely re-invent the wheel of poetry. I'm happy to let you and Hopkins do that important work.
