[Kzyxtalk] open lines and trading times

[David Gurney]

If the caller did not repeat his transgression of profanity after being
warned by McKenty, Mr. Bray's argument is irrelevant.  Doug is obviously
not as prone to shutting up listeners, as others on the staff of KZYX
certainly are.

And this still doesn't answer of why KZYX doesn't install a 7-secong delay
for call-in shows.
