He has had real jobs in the tech sector in the Bay Area. And Coate also has a working spouse. At Kaiser Permanente, I heard. And he probably has a few retirement bucks set aside. Meaning what? Meaning that Coate is not as desperate as Aigner. <span style="font-size: 12pt;">And desperate people are dangerous people.</span></div><div aria-label="Compose body"><br></div><div aria-label="Compose body">And that's the cold, hard fact of the matter.</div><div aria-label="Compose body"><br></div><div aria-label="Compose body"><br></div><div><br></div><hr id="zwchr"><div style="color:#000;font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;text-decoration:none;font-family:Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;font-size:12pt;" data-mce-style="color: #000; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; text-decoration: none; font-family: Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"><b>From: </b>"BC" <><br><b>To: </b>"kzyxtalk" <kzyxtalk@lists.mcn.org><br><b>Sent: </b>Friday, March 13, 2015 6:50:21 PM<br><b>Subject: </b>Re: [Kzyxtalk] new article<br><div><br></div>John,<br> <br><div class="moz-cite-prefix">As you are relativly new to the area and inexperiencd in public radio operations, I suggest that your angry perspective on Mary Aigner is both misinformed and unnecessary.<br> Running a 7/24 public operation of any kind requires a really dedicated and driven person. That person must take all the resources and present a smooth operation while involving the entire community. I couldn't do it nor could you. That kind of performance requires solid structure that must not accept the vagaries of poorly performing volunteer programmers who,by nature, are inconsistent and somewhat intermittent. If she was supported by a stern program committee who would support the scheduling and mission of volunteers she could take a breath occasionally. If you add a administrative crew who provide real network for smooth manageable operation and the station would smoothly continue it's growth to a real beacon to our evolving region.<br> <br> Give Mary a lot of slack John, she has done a great job under trying conditions - and still is less of a grouch than thou. An enlightened board will help. ~BC<br> <br> On 3/13/2015 3:01 PM, <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:sako4@comcast.net" target="_blank" data-mce-href="mailto:sako4@comcast.net">sako4@comcast.net</a> wrote:<br></div><blockquote cite="mid:436724099.3402200.1426284065354.JavaMail.zimbra@comcast.net"><div><div><div>Here are my thoughts, Doug:</div><div><br></div><span>1.There will be no peace at KZYX until Coate and Aigner are gone.
