An Ode to the Unrec Feature. (Please unrec, I insist)
Oh unrec, you message board feature sublime,
Have you simply appeared ahead of your time?
Why is it you gather such silly attention?
When all you want is a little affection.

At times your usage makes some come unglued
when your result is simply nonsense subdued.
Even though your application is most voluntary
the contempt for you is oddly quite scary

It's as if in your absence, a thread that's not hot
still warranted a greatest page-ward swat.
Some will insist the jury's still out
But the job you've done is nothing but stout.

Eliminating crap and gratuitous clutter.
Place self serving bullshit in a well deserved gutter.
"I WON'T POST! I WON'T POST! I WON'T POST NO MORE!
IT'S YOU UNRECCERS MAKING LIFE SUCH A CHORE!"

Suggesting all threads of obscure import
deserve to be making the greatest page sort
is like saying a toddlers crude block construction
earns inclusion in Architecture Today's production


Oh unrec, oh unrec, you feature supreme
make it easy to see if a thread holds esteem
by a majority of our fine message board
instead of just five that are easily scored.

1. I want to unrec this, but I can't -
Unless you promise to whine if it gets rec'd

:)

3. LOL!
Nope. Sorry.

But I will ask you and anyone else to add a stanza, if you are so inclined.

5. "You people"?
Ummm...Boo?

This is satire directed at the whiners.

I'm not one of them.

11. "This is satire directed at the whiners." - I got it, and it was good enough, I suppose...
"You people" referred to "people who think the subject is important enough to merit an OP".

Similarly, I might agree with the content of what some Sarah Palin OP says, but still think the entire topic isn't worth talking about. Agreement/disagreement can take place at different levels.

17. Oh, yeah, please explain your "different levels"
since you obviously like to jump and post something obscured and earn your accolades from the producers of the dingleberries that you love so much.

10. To Rec, or to Unrec: That is the question:
Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer
The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune,
Or to take arms against a sea of troubles,
And by opposing end them? To die: to sleep;
No more; and by a sleep to say we end
The heart-ache and the thousand natural shocks
That flesh is heir to, 'tis a consummation
Devoutly to be wish'd. To die, to sleep;
To sleep: perchance to dream: ay, there's the rub.






K&UnR!!!!!!

12. You're a poet
And are cognisant of that predilection.

(I've never been good at rhymes)
