Please Use Your Brain
(after James Taylor, “Sweet Baby James”)

There is a young poster, he lives on the Net.
His modem and his killfile are his very best friends there.
He loves MP3 groups ‘cause the fun never ends there.
Waiting for headers and songs there to get.

And as the flood rises, he sits by his screen
Dreamin’ about zbebaf and glasses of beer
And closing his eyes as the doggie spews spleen
He sings out a song which is soft, but it’s clear
As if maybe someone could hear.

Goodnight you moonlight posters
When postin’ just please use your brain
It’s not a tough task. It’s not too much to ask.
That your postin’ not drive us insane.
When postin’ just please use your brain

Absm discussion was covered with trolls,
And so our dear hero did dodge their formation
To the FAQ he proceeded to find information
With 10,000 answers it’s the right place to go.

Well, there’s a song that they sing when they take to the newsgroups.
A song that they sing when they make MP3s.
A song that they sing when the FAQ-Man they sight
Maybe you can believe it if it helps you to be
Considerate; it works right for me.
