raptor - sorry if I snapped - I have deleted this list so many times now from e-mail - seen it multiple times in every newsgroup and forum I go to - even ones that don't normally discuss ANY music.

My point was - they weren't ever "banned" in the first place - (so I'm already irritated at seeing repeatedly a falsehood) - secondly - the list was (reportedly) generated in a voluntary effort to decrease bad feelings - but seems currently be being used mostly to stir up bad feelings.

Thirdly - if you look at the songs in the list from the point of view of a someone trying to prevent mental anguish (granted - to a ridiculous point) those songs do contain lyrics that could be disturbing in the wake of 9-11. "Bye - bye American..." fire/planes/death, etc.

and lastly - I apologize that you took my posting to be a critique on your posting. I was offering my comments and opinions - which is what I *thought* you were asking for.
