just agreeing with your every word (even the "didn't dare say
so before..." bit is true about me too), looping and signing it 
as my own work. 
In the words of an internationally acclaimed critic (pending a
Pulitzer):
"A text/sound rap/poetry found object which in its repetitive 
recontextualisation flaunts the traditional boundaries between 
content/medium, author/audience, populist movement, and plain 
waste of bandwidth.
Profoundly minimalistically modern - and hip too."

Glad we could collaborate on this piece, 
see if John appreciates it too.

thanks for the explanation and the appreciation. As you all know,
at least under systems that support the popen()/pclose() system call, this is
really trivial to implement (and in other systems, there are fake
implementations of popen()/pclose() that could be used - I think gawk
has this kind of calls already done). I am ready to do it if the developers
team thinks it is appropriate.
