    @Ondolette

    I have to take offense to this on two counts:

    First off, GoodCelery/bebop-o is one of the kindest people I am acquainted with, and does a lot to undo the things this government slimes itself with in not supporting the troops/veterans. Many of his posts are full of insights and are not always easy.

    Please take no offense. I meant that remark as the highest form of praise for GoodCelery/bebop-o. If one were to trawl through the posts on this site, they would find primaruly countless lukewarm rehashes of left-leaning talking points. (My own senseless blather included)

    The gleaming exception would be the work of GoodCelery/bebop-o whose unique style and substance would legitimately send NSA sensors spinning much in the manner you describe. Poetry as Encryption is an apt metaphor and his stuff is good enough and "out there" enough for me to say it would be the only thing of interest to the All-Seeing Eye.

    I do not have the benefit of the person's acquaintance, but have read pretty much all comments and have, indeed, gotten the sense that they are a first rate human being.

    Rest assured, I meant my remark as a compliment.
