Dear Mr. Arteaga,

I didn't say that John Sakowicz left because of 'cronyism' and 'nastiness' .. that was Raoul Van Hall .. the 

station manager .. one of the 'station's hard working staff' that you referred do .. and he wasn't 'voted out' .. 

he quit .. which is evident by his current absence on the air at KZYX .. plus his resignation email citing the 

'cronyism' and 'nastiness' I referred to .. check your email if you don't believe me .. it's straight from the 

horse's mouth .. Mr. Van Hall .. 

nonetheless, thanks for helping to support Mr. Van Hall's point .. about the 'cronyism' and 'nastiness' at KZYX .. 

Sincerely,

Scott M. Peterson

Jesus
Christ,

What
kind of unhinged madman is this Scott Peterson? Did John Sackowitz contract out
his pointless, annoying, counterproductive mau-mauing of the station's
hard-working staff and board to him since he lost his board seat? (I'm sure
that everyone at the station breathed a great sigh of relief  when that
happened). 

I
like the part about John 'leaving because of cronyism and nastiness'. No,
Scott, he left only because he was voted out of his position there, and in
terms nastiness, there was no one there who could come close to him.

As
if the station has nothing better to do than to hunt down every frivolous
demand for this and that document that he extortionately demands! Screw him!

What
is it about trying to run a simple little public radio station that brings out
the power and attention starved crockpots to dog and harass its every move?!

Keep
up the good work, you all, and remember; Illegitemis non carborundum.

Best wishes, John
Arteaga

Dear New
KZYX Board Members,

In case
you're wondering how I got your email address .. I got it from a former KZYX
station manager who

recently
left over 'cronyism' and 'nastiness' at KZYX .. have you gotten his email? ..
did you ignore him? .. 

Mr. Azarro,
I've never met you .. but I heard your assurance that MCPB would be acting in
harmony from 

now on ..
that was at the Point Noyo board meeting .. where the police showed up to take
someone away 

who wasn't
.. 

Mr.
Middlebrook .. you sat at a table with me. along with Marco McLean and others
.. after assuring us that 

KZYX would
be more transparent in the future .. after five years of Form 990s had been
cloaked in secrecy .. 

by the
executive director of KZYX .. who reported to the board of directors .. yeah
.. 

and Mr.
Campbell. I've sent many emails your way .. not one of them has gotten a
response .. 

let me tell
you a powerful tale .. about the cost of not responding .. for individual
directors of a nonprofit 

corporation
thinking they're immune from ignoring people like me .. 

there's
another public broadcasting entity you may have heard of .. it was called MCTV
.. they had a board 

of
directors too .. just like you .. and they ignored people too .. just like me
.. and they all got sued .. just like 

you're
about to be sued .. by Mr. Dennis O'Brien .. for ignoring people like me
.. 

the outcome
of the MCTV lawsuit is public knowledge .. each of those directors had to dig
into their individual 

pockets to
pay that judgment off .. not because they'd done anything wrong .. but because
they'd ignored 

people like
me .. 

I know this
may be inconvenient for you .. and certainly unpopular .. but you might want to
check your bank 

balance
today .. or that tin can buried in your back yard .. and see if ignoring people
like me is really worth it .. 

while
you're at it .. do a simple background check on your fellow board members ..
and employees .. see if it 

lines up
with the background listed on their resumes .. if you have one .. if not, you
might want to get one .. 

a note on
dishonest associates .. they might not be able get that resume to you .. in
fact, they might even 

ignore you
.. like you're doing .. it's easy enough .. right? .. 

and about
that 'indemnification' clause in your bylaws .. you might want to check the
date on them .. just for 

laughs ..
it's dated July 12, 2010 .. then check the Form 990 for the same time period ..
where it says that no 

changes had
been made to the governing documents at KZYX for that time period .. thereby
removing any so-

called protection
you may have been relying on .. 

while
you're at it .. you might want to check the bank balances of the
people you've been relying on .. or the tin 

cans buried
in their back yards .. 

and if
you're getting any legal advice, make sure you've got an agreement in place ..
to bond that advice .. yeah .. 

attorneys
carry malpractice insurance .. especially big shots like David Hopmann and
Eliane Hering .. and for any 

legal
advice, there's something called a letter of opinion .. where you can get
that advice in writing .. 

KZYX has
been running afoul of CPB rules for some time now .. after taking millions
of dollars in grant money from 

them ..
they're entitled to recover that money .. all of it .. if you've been ignoring
them .. 

sincerely,

Scott M.
Peterson

Mendocino
