THE LURKERS SUPPORT ME IN EMAIL
(To the tune of "My Bonnie Lies over the Ocean")
by Jo Walton

The Lurkers support me in email
They all think I'm great don't you know.
You posters just don't understand me
But soon you will reap what you sow.

Lurkers, lurkers, lurkers support me, you'll see, you'll see
Off in e-mail the lurkers support me, you'll see.

The lurkers support me in email
"So why don't they post?" you all cry
They're scared of your hostile intentions
They just can't be as brave as I.

Lurkers, lurkers, lurkers support me, you'll see, you'll see
Off in e-mail the lurkers support me, you'll see.

One day I'll round up all my lurkers
We'll have a newsgroup of our own
Without all this flak from you morons
My lurkers will post round my throne.

Lurkers, lurkers, lurkers support me, you'll see, you'll see
Off in e-mail the lurkers support me, you'll see.

Thank you, Jo for writing this, and thank you Bard, for reposting this

The words of a liar have less value than a grain of sand in the desert.
Can you prove it, liar?
I doubt it.

Until they come out and put their heads on the block, they don't exist,
liar.
