Moderator Palmyra PA Posts: 3233	Thanks, Kurt, for initiating this bit of rule following. For those who don't know what it's about, check the forum rules. Here's the backstory on the rule in question. A while back, in a thread called "Mutillidae," Taxon and I debated Latin pronunciation. I threw out a bit of bait and got two replies, to which I posted, also making reference to a tippet knot we had been discussing elsewhere, "5-7-5" A bite? No, double! The knot will hold I am sure: Well-tied ligature. After a confused post or two CaseyP solved the riddle with her own haiku: Martin hooks us all With little Japanese fly We fall down laughing Jason took umbrage, and the next day we found the infamous forum rule, to which Kurt responded just after midnight last night. Others have less than four hours Eastern time to get their once a year oriental fix. Though there have been a few scofflaws from time to time.

Northern CA & ID Posts: 2604	Thanks back for the explanation, Mr. Martin. Please correct me if I'm wrong, but for those still a little in the dark... I believe Haiku is a Japanese form of poetry based on certain rules usually incorporating a seasonal reference, precise rhythmic syllable counts, and an abrupt change in direction combining seemingly disparate points but with clever or cryptic meaning. Obviously this presents problems in English translation. I believe proponents after WWII felt the English language was best used in a 5 7 5 formula using punctuation to accentuate breaks and with the first and third lines having end rhymes. Now it seems it's gone the direction of Jazz. Do I have this about right from a layman's perspective? Anyway, it should be reiterated that that's eastern time that Louis mentioned and it is the official clock, so those in different time zones beware. If you go over you will be penalized and fined.:) Ephemeral time... The gong will sound to dismay; for those that are late
