Yes, it certainly has fallen short of what it could have been; constructive dialogue about making the station better. Instead it seemed to be mostly about getting up on the soapbox and esposing. Below is a quote from John Sakowitz:<div><br></div><div><span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><i> won't argue on this listserv. I've had enough conflict. And I'm tired of being a whipping boy.</i></span></div><div><br></div><div>Yeah right. This sort of stuff I have to admit is entertaining in a way, but not really helpful. Personally, I'm tired of it and will withdraw from the list as most people I know have already done.... Which brings to mind the quote: "When one wrestles with pigs, one get muddy". I'm tired of wrestling with pigs. I'm tired of getting muddy.</div><div><br></div><div>I say kill the list.</div><div><br></div><div>Rick</div><div>Little River<br><br><hr id="zwchr">Norman. Please stay put. This site will evolve. And it is the only pertinent game.

Ann,<br><br>
I had hoped, when I launched kzyxtalk some months ago, it would provide<br>
a forum to express ideas, differences and eventually find co-operative<br>
suggestions that would benefit the station. A forum which station management,<br>
board, members and listeners could raise issues which could not be broadcast.<br><br>
Indeed, what an irony? To go to the internet to discuss what could not be <br>
said on any radio program being aired.<br><br>
Once again I was overly optimistic that we would contribute, build and do better.<br><br>
But if kzyxtalk has become a platform to tear down the station and find only<br>
fault, I ask you, should I take down the kzyxtalk list.serv?<br><br>
I would appreciate yours and others opinion.<br><br>
