It's got some neat stuff on it. However, several of the ideas on it were pioneered by myself and others as many as three years ago. Moxy haikus, which were originally called "Moxy Haikuvous," were invented by Caitlin Shirts on the Bargainville Discount Store (a majordomo-type mailing list that met its maker sometime around early 1997), in the fall of 1996. At least give credit there. My website, which was entitled "Spidey the Fun-Licker's Moxy Fruvous Page" and was later renamed "Moxy Fruvous for Dummies," used to be located at http://www.frontiernet.net/~aultered but has since been removed due to circumstances out of my control. It featured the original archive of Fruvous haikus, as well as Fruvous limericks, "A Kick In the Ass," where Fruheads told what pissed them off, and other random things such as The Hail Murray, the Moxy Fruvous Macarena, and the Magical Fruvous Button. I guess what I'm trying to say here is that I'm a little upset that a website was created with the same concept and even some of the same features as mine, but also, since mine is no longer in existence, I'm glad that something has taken it's place. At the very least, I ask that you give credit where credit is due and mention Caitlin Shirts on your haiku page. After all, she is what started all this wackiness with Fruvous haikus and such in the first place. i don't mean to sound conceited, but the fun playground-style site was my idea originally and it annoys me that someone has gone and done the same thing. chris ------------------------------ End of alt.music.moxy-fruvous digest V3 #937 ********************************************
