You horsefaced liar! Not that I'm calling you one now, of course. You
could just be "mistaken", Karla.

Obviously not, you goofy bimbo.

There's no indication of that in the archives, so you could be
confused, or perhaps Marek was? If there was a "rec.poems" anywhere on
Usenet, the archives would indicate there was. Here is the archive for
rec.arts.poems, going back to 1988, iirc, right after net.poems faded
away:

Maybe there was a "rec.poems" at some point, but it didn't make it
into the Usenet archives, apparently.
