[Noisebridge-discuss] rant: youtube as documentation (hijacked thread was: Re: "Half-rap" music and "Grabbing a record")

[Michael Shiloh]

You know, one of the things I like most about this list is that it 
allows me to explore half- or quarter-baked ideas, nagging feelings, and 
vague uncertainties. No matter how ridiculous my question might be, it 
will be explored, probed, agreed with, and disagreed with, intelligently.

Thanks, not just to you, Elizabeth, but in fact to everyone.
