"A Whole New R.A.D"

Well, they gave us the choice.
Concentrate or separ-ate it.
Now you see what can happen when
You let a vote decide.

I can cut down the flood
Take you - wonder of wonders!
Over, sideways, and under
On a group-expanding ride

A whole new RAD!
Five new specific groups to view
Now someone can tell us "No,
Don't post there! Go
Where it's not moderated!"

A whole new RAD!
A thousand cross-posts come to view!
But when we've got all these
It's tough to please
All of those in a whole new RAD with you.

Unbelievable spam,
Indescribable flaming,
Sorting, reading, replying
Seems it takes three hours a day!

A whole new RAD!
(Don't you dare unsubscribe!)
A hundred thousand posts to see
(Hold you flames - or to /dev/null)
It's like a shooting star
Or unmanned car
RAD has gone beyond the bounds of sanity.

A whole new RAD!
(FDC's gone - surprise!)
New regulations to ensue
(Every posting is censored)

We'd know them anywhere
They're here to scare
The net.gods have ruined it for you...
   (^^^^^^^^ pronounced "net-dot-gods" for scansion...)

A whole new RAD...
It's sad to see...
"Let's segregate -
It'll be great!
No F-D-C!"
