Vern posted this in October 2002 and I think, in the true spirit of this Forum, it is time for us all to reply. For my part I want to express my hope that Vern has now solved the formatting problem so evident throughout his piece. Apart from that issue I like it very much indeed.
What do the rest of you think?

I find it beautiful that this set of words Vern wrote 21 years ago, and published for us 13 years ago, we can read today. Maybe Vern won't see that their poem was ever read. But I hope they are doing well today

Ciahn, how kind of you to join in. I am pretty sure that Vern is only one person although you pluralise him from the best of motives, I'm sure.
You may be pleased to know that Vern did send me a PM soon after I posted my reply. On that basis I am confident he is alive and well. We promised to keep in touch and in 2033 we are planning to meet.

Ah yes it was because, though I know Vern to be a male name, I did not want to assume and therefore offend as I imagine there are people from lots of countries on this site
