Absolutely, posted. AZ also writes such good Spenserian verse that it's hard to tell from the real thing. I'd also go for posting Clare Kinney's opening stanza of the FQ as done by the author of Beowulf, although I do realize there is no end to what one might do. Anyway, posting the tribute to the SE would indeed remind us to keep checking it. I might remind the young that while it was being put together a lot of us took to calling the four editors (led by Bert) "The Four Hims." Anne.
