Being one of the proponents of Reply-To: ALL, and then somene who
immediately fell prey to the pitfalls of that "default" setting, I
was reminded of this poem by Jim Harrison:

        I once thought that life's what's left over after
                I extricate myself from the mess.
        I was writing a poem about paying attention
                and microwaved a hot dog so hot it burned
                a beet-red hole in the roof of my mouth.
        Lucrezia Borgia got shit on her fingers by not
                paying attention.
        Chanting a sutra, the monk stepped fatally on the
                viper's tail.
        Every gun is cocked and loaded.
                - Jim Harrison, *After Ikkyu*
