Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads
There is only The One--irremediable, and unRapaireable
Who from the heaven's brow did spring, full-armed
And with a look that mortals find unbearablest of looks
Did stride into the world to Speake of Booques.
Leaving his mortal peers all full-alarmed.

But when his arms did meet their fate at last
Through helpful gestures made in aimless aid,
His peers did him impose a giant Caste
Of finest perlite plaster grains all made.

These grains each one, like pages were but small
But like a mighty BOoke when gathered all,
By tens and scores and thousands made the charm
That held him fast, and Rapaired good his Arme.
