You can't be too careful. I've seen the "Protect & Survive" public information films.

Well I aint going to post it again.

On the other hand it might take them another 3 weeks to find it.

Ah, it was the old reposting something you received in an email without receiving the original author's permission first...
I wonder if once something gets spread across the entire 'Net if it doesn't fall into general usage.
I reckon the copyright courts haven't caught up with this particular quirk of the WWW yet. Especially if the author *intended* the poem to be widely circulated freely among web-dwellers.

I had a feeling that might be the problem, How hard do you think it would be to find the original author?

How hot is the sun? How deep is the ocean? How big is space?
Well nigh impossible I reckon...

Nope, that wasn't the problem. It was put down to the sensitive political climate. Which I take to mean "its annoying the Americans". But I thought it was fairly lighthearted and wouldn't offend.

Well, I *did* break my hand punching the wall when I first read it...
...but I wouldn't say I was annoyed.

So it really is a case of "Don't mention the war" then? 
I mentioned it once, but I think I got away with it...

I thought the British General Election was the only political topic we couldn't mention.
I think I'm going to have a good sulk now, there was no way that should have been moderated.
