faux verbification? (Score:1)
"It" is a (pro)noun. For that matter, I think "onstreaming" is too?

Yeah, "onstreaming" is a noun. A gerund, to be specific. The article, "the", kinda gives it away.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think prepositions ("behind") require a noun phrase in English. But perhaps we can do this with two statements and adverbs instead of prepositions?
"streamed on ahead; mooned upward behind"
Or perhaps this is just plain silly. :-P
perl -e 'print "Just another Perl ${\(trickster and hacker)},";'
The Sidhekin proves that Sidhe did it!
