Note: If you try break, it catches it; so it's better to stop (as per the haiku).

-- really love it. i see the leaf, and second the legend to the left. -- can't say if the legend and the leaf go together... -- i'm here beat up by the volatile ruby and rails scene. tried to scratch pad, per se, but nothing happened i could notice... complained heartily about over-capitalization of RoR, tho this place has clear exchange values established. _ Jess	[reply]

Yeah, I really went out on a tangent with the leaf. I didn't want people to actually get stuck in the infinite loop; so I tried to find a poetic way to let ppl know how to quit (even included elements and imagery of nature). It has more to do about quitting the executed poem than the standalone poem. Gaah capitalization has infected my mind, my bad. Programming in multiple languages (regularly) has broken me in that regard. maybe over time I'll getBetterSkills and deprecate superfluous Capitalization.	[reply]
