Oh, man, thanks for the kind words. I'm mostly offline today dealing with assorted errands, but this was a delight to see when I came back for a break. And I'm so glad you and others have gotten something from that Jong poem.

And no way am I ever starting my own territory -- there's no way it could feel more like home than ~BooksAndArticles.

Finally, a huge cheer for bringing in golden oldies (and that was a great one to start with). This territory has generated so much great stuff, and I love seeing some of the great posts from before my time here.
