The teacher of my very bright and ambitious high school English class
cautioned us not to write like e.e.cummings unless we WERE e.e.cummings.
She reminded us that Picasso had mastered the classical painting style
before developing his own.

You are absolutely correck. Most people don't know just HOW good Picasso
was, from a traditional pov.... stunning.

The only exception she tolerated:

But, correct as you are in the above, you DO see the obvious flaw in your
implied admonition, right? Which was evident in your prior use of the word
"talent"
Unless you can identify exactly WHO it is I'm trying to imitate, none of
this applies!

Dood, ahm just havin fun.... it's USENET, fergodsakes....
That a few assholes here decided to jump on some bull**** etiquette
bandwagon, and ig the real design issues being raised, speaks volumes. And
I'm certainly surprised by *your* vault onto this bull**** bandwagon..

Again, if anyone really had difficulty with the op, they better get some
tutoring, bec if my li'l syntactical/grammatical dalliances have them this
confused and bent out of shape, they are *really* insecure in the basics..
