You've both in your own ways, served the purpose of the server.

It seems to me that Bob Allisat is attempting performance art...no
I don't think that *it* is poetic, either...rather it seems to 
be idomatic of poetry.  
Part of the performance art technique is the participation/interaction 
of what used to be called the Viewer.  That's us folks.  If I was
a student in a creative writing course, and using boB allisat's 
media, I would be 'framing' this so-called poetry with the interactive
turmoil that the cyberworld has put around it.  You will note that
every time Mr. Allisat has been challenged, he pushes his media 
technique even further.

If I'm onto your philospohic spine, boB, I apologize for bracketing your
concept.  I'm sure (again,- if I'm right) that there is a shelf-life
for your concept and that the half-life is (to paraphrase your ramble) 
only visible if you are on the dark side of the moon.  There is no half-
life until the life is over.

"When will it be over?" the Chimp humbly asks.  The Chimp also wants to 
know how many Chimps you've got crammed into your creative workspace at 
any given time.
