Okay... a quick stab at the beginning (again, to Duran Duran's "Ordinary World"):

came here from the harsh world wide web 
             on the gemini
   thought I read you posting smol-ly

   I found no bold-face, inline links
             or a man-u-al
thus I can't code scrape a post from you 

     what has happened to the web?
          money, some will say 
  where is USENET when I need it most?
            (september stay)

     but I won't long for hypertext
       there's ex-traordinary pub 
         somehow I have to find

      and as I try to post my say 
         to ex-traordinary pub 
        I will learn to archive!
