Icculus Does anyone have any strong opinions on the purported "Roadrunner" teasing in the Piper?

There is a dispute on the Phish.Net working group about it. It isn't an obvious tease (it isn't a quote of "Roadrunner" ;) , not only because Trey says nonsensical lyrics (and not "Radio On" ;) , but also because the jam in "Piper" around 5:30-7 minutes or so is much faster than "Roadrunner" and the three-note signature melody of "Roadrunner" is arguably not played. I say "arguably" because it seems to me that it's a close call. We're interested in your opinions on this, if you have any. Some folks think the "Roadrunner" tease should be removed from the setlist, if not also this "recap." See, e.g.,
