Ode to the Dinner Mint

And now, by way of limerick, here's my last word on the subject...

There once was this thread about dinner mints
Put up by a Kauai itinerant
She was known as just Margot,
Looked for no "Mint Embargo"
Just wanted feedback from all sorts of Fodor tints

Well, the feedback came quite fast and furious
From Fodorites who were clearly most curious
'Twas an active debate
Thoughtfully done without hate
And the points made were clearly not spurious!

And so, on this subject I end
I thank all you dear Fodor Friends
There'll be no more retorts,
Just my Kauai Trip Report
Filled with all sorts of wisdom to lend!

Thanks, Everyone!!!
=D>

A posting made by Fodorite, Margot
Was stopped with an unfair embargo.
My own little thesis
Is that chocolates of Jesus
Are not accepted by Fodors as cargo.

Oh, please let this die. Aren't three threads on this enough? Just let it go, Margot.

Starrsville - sorry - did someone force you to click on this thread? My limerick is simply meant to bring lighthearted closure to the topic - I'm sorry you're having trouble with that.

Bravo, Margot and Patrick, from a Christian who puts things like Testamints in my mental "Jesus junk" file...

Clever poem, margot!

But what is the embargo about? Both of the threads appear to be "postable."

I think Patrick is referring to the original thread ("After-Dinner Mints at Kauai Pasta - please comment"), in which one was unable to post a reply after a previous poster had given a long link to a web address - apparently, this is not the first time something like this has happened...

Thanks, margot, although I see that the margin thing for that thread went awry, I don't see how posting to the thread was impeded.

Anyway, good of you to share a funny poem to balance a contentious thread.
