Replying to a comment on:

All mother's are handicapped. They only have two hands.

The gist of the quote is that mothers (or mother's, if you prefer) are overworked. If blacksoul thought something like "Hmm, mothers are overworked. In a way, you could say they were handicapped, because they don't have enough hands to do all the work they need to do. And that's actually amusing because it's normal to have two hands! I know, I'll make that into a poeme!" then he would have independently invented something.

But he obviously didn't think that. It would be a coincidence of bum-like proportions if that were the case. He just regurgitated a well known quote, virtually verbatim, with the only discrepancies being utterly inconsequential. If you're going to insist he has contributed his own unique slant on the idea, then you leave me no choice but to conclude that your brain has been severely damaged by an overwhelming barrage of flattery radiation, oozing daily from jroday and blacksoul's hobo-pores.

As for the gross spacing: I can't see indentations on any of my comments. I never indent, because poemeranker doesn't seem to allow spaces at the beginning of a comment line (at least on my browser, which is Internet Explorer v6). Either you don't know what an indent is, or something is tits-up with poemeranker, or your browser, or mine.
