Under the title "Serendipity' - the fiding of something where you least 
expect it - Ralph Pohlman [Best Medicine] wrote in the Toronto Sun Friday 
July 17, the following poem [from The Poet of the Airwaves]:

Isn't it strange that princes and kings, 
and clowns that caper in sawdust rings,
And common folks like you and me, are maker of eternity.
To each is given a book of rules,
A shapeless mass and a bag of tools,
And each must fashion, 'ere life has flown,
A stumbling block, or a stepping stone,

Well, that pretty well relates to the discussions about AUP. The 
serendipity part was of course R. Brown's post, which pointed to several 
flaws in the discussion that could not be answered by any logic from 
those attacking it. I believe it is time that each one (volunteers, 
employees and users) be given there book of rules.
