Piss taking aside:

In contrast to what I have just sent over as a comment to you, this kind of commentry and thought is more than welcome compared to untangeable quippets that serve to flame zodiacs mild annoying and invalid mockery.

The punctuation is only there to provide appropriate length pauses, its symantic is in the ride it provokes. I would rather steer clear of the colons on the grounds that they invoke a list or parrallel verses; what I am writing is continuous verse, and thus I use semi-colons. I only use quotes in order to quote a person, or to indicate speach; and so again their use is inapropriate here.

When you see use of language such as one bright one light, take it for what it is, and what it provokes. Don't get so pent up on the syntax, and concentrate on the semantic and the ride. As far as I am aware there is nothing here that should cause anyone any difficulty in reading, as long as they just let it sink in, rather than fixate upon its syntax.

As for the biting comments, I write the comments in spare minutes that I have at work, I have little time to spare to check spelling and punctuation when engaging in slanging matches between teenage poetry snobs. The comments are less snide, but more of a irritated response to the image that you and zodiac have presented. I welcome the chance to receive feedback on my work, and get distinctly annoyed when I receive time waisting comments.
