C. San Diego Paul, don't worry about posting or not posting an example of random rap. Post the source! How could you deprive us of the program that we've been waiting for? We too want to be able to speak ungrammatically and un-understandably. Do your friends on net.bizarre a favor and post your rap program. From the bottom of our feet, we thank you. -- "I love the feel of plastic. It makes me hot!" - T.J. Tarou Wayne Morrison (301)454-7690 tewok@gymble.ARPA seismo!umcp-cs!tewok
