[Kzyxtalk] Conference Call

[drs at mcn.org]

Dear Mr Waldman, Your post sums up the sick reality of the ugly Kay-Zyx
conundrum, I feel!. I gave up on being the voice many came to recognize as
the; (?) hyper critical voice of the crank minority!.
About two years ago. I gave up on the station which Mendocino DESERVES!.
Approx 88.000 people and a few hundred subscriber, by station stats (if
memory serves)A hand full of SUCKERS (?) .And, some really well intended
and very long suffering folk willing to help the hang man adjust the knot
around there throat!.
The best that will come of this current delusional nonsense. is it will
delay the Inevitable collapse Of "J C (no not, that;J C!) and not so
virginal Mary"s smoke and mirrors act........Bring on the clown's!!!!!!.
>From an tactical perspective,  I see NO positive out come!. may be that
says more about my, lack of vision, then any thing else; perhaps; but the
stats do-not lie; the county IGNORES this PHONY caricature of an
"Community Broadcasting station." and some noble souls, may-be found
twisting on the metaphorical wind's of inevitability how very sad!.
Respectfully. David Shacklett
PS: and whilst this melodrama grinds d o w n, I ask you what-ever became
of cogent (while it lasted) talk around the; issue  of "J Cs' fiscal shell
and pea game???.
