[Kzyxtalk] What KZYXtalk hopes to be.

[King Collins]

Dear KZYXtalk folks,
 
Lets briefly discuss what this listserv hopes to be. I've discussed this with Norman De Vall, who is the administrator of this listserv (kzyxtalk). Comments welcome. 

First: The discussion is fundamentally in support of KZYX.  

Second: Our idea is to invite all sides to this debate about our community radio station. This includes critics and enthusiastic supporters, "Members For Change" (Whoever that is?), members of the board of directors, programmers...listeners. The process of inviting participants has barely begun.

Third, Let's ground the discussion in history. Here are some of the...
