Nah. It's the ghetto boys, burning a little bush.

I can't think of any topic that interests me less.  I could probably
go on for a few paragraphs -- as a producer and sampler, I've thought
about the issues involved.  But I might fall asleep on the keyboard.

I will say this -- there is a buttload of trading and bootlegging going
on on the Internet, but 99% of it goes on without being announced on
public mailing lists. Word to the wise -- figure out how to do it without
talking about it here.
