Re: cRAP, options and a breath of fresh brevity

Ari, I don't have the option of not opening certain messages!  I get the 
Digest, dude! ;)
I browse through the Digest and read the postings and the rap thing 
caught my attention, and I read some of the posts to see how it was 
related to Jewish Music (the purpose of this list).  As this is a 
discussion list, I offered my take on this particular form of 
entertainment, and joined in the discussion.  Isn't that what a 
discussion list is all about?  I added the "Beastie Boys" post in later 
on to try and add some levity to what I thought was becoming an angry 
battle.
Best Regards,
Steven
