Nora Peal is the afkmn Poetess Laureate and Princess
Regent of austin.flame.  Whatever she wishes to post
to either of these two groups is fine.  If she chose
to delete your parody of the "Lavender Cowboy" (what
in the hell is "the old Lavender Cowboy" song, and
who the hell would admit to knowing it?), it must've
been a piss poor parody.  And the Poetess Laureate's
word counts for quite a bit in these parts.

Uh, no.  That's where she threw your stuff, X-man...

...because that is precisely where it belongs.
