  *MY* point is that it's *EASY* to create this crap! Do you think I slave
away over my keyboard for hours at a time? NO! I pound out this
meaningless slop in under 10 minutes. If you, Mr. Clown, are saying that
it's hard to do this you are wrong.

  Thanks for your time,

Once again Eros of the golden locks tosses
his purple ball to me and challenges me to start a game
with the nymphet in the colorful slippers.
But she -- for she hails from well-built Lesbos --
finds my hair (it's grizzled) contemptible
and goes gaping after another girl. -- Anacreon, Fragment 358
