then some newbie trying to get to fifteen posts by whatever means necessary (so that he can post a poem he wrote about hobbits on the crit board) posts a “Wish I could of made it” message on a month-old Carmine Metrics reading announcement
Don't no newbie get the wrong idea. Such posts do not count toward the 15 required.

I trust you know that the epithet was in the service of humor, Michael, and in no way reflects my true opinion of you (which is something akin to worshipfulness). (And has Rhina ever actually read in Toronto? Probably. She gets around.)
