Arlen,
The writer of this stated it was his first post. Maybe he was unaware
that members of this list had previously seen the Dr. Suess humor. Did
you have to slam him for not being original and thereby discourage him
from ever posting again? When the rest of us saw it, we let it go. Why
couldn't you do the same?

It would have been better if your first post could have had a trace of
originality in it, rather than something which has been seen so often
before.
