should i take it that RIPE database allow the creative ones to store their own poems (as in... poetry?). can anyone point me to the document explaining this object ?

This object supports activities of "The Secret Working Group", a long standing tradition at RIPE meetings. See http://www.ripe.net/db/news/poem-object-200505.html for the latest developments concerning this object. Google for ripe database limerick ripe secret working group or variations thereof for background reading. Sincerely but not too seriously your's Daniel
