overheard in #email

Programming email can leave you a bit ... touched. Here are some recent gems from #email on irc.perl.org

 To bounce, or not to bounce
 that is the question
 whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer
 the slings and arrows of outrageous NDRs
 or by opposing, end them

It's a poetry contest he wants, is it?

 what a piece of work is mime
 how nested in structure
 how infinite in quirkiness
 in form and encoding how completely execrable
 the paragon of feature creep
 and yet to me
 what is the quintessence of wtf

Have we gone too far? No.

 well, writing a poem about mime is pretty wtf
 I think a poem about MIME would need to be something epic and 
        full of angry, capricious Norse gods
 multipart/epicpoem
 Das MIMErdämmerungenlied
 stanza*1*=latin-1'q'no_no'Das=20MIMErd=E4mmerungenlied
 ; format=opera

Trust us. It's hilarious.
