If you're peeved about people being unprofessional you should consider 
that a handful of people in the office at KZYX pay themselves 
approaching $300,000 a year to do basically nothing; they pay the real 
workers, the local airpeople, /nothing/ for doing basically everything, 
and no-one in management nor on the board of KZYX has ever so much as 
built a transmitter or run a public-access system of any kind, nor done 
live radio drama, nor taught radio production, nor done profession 
recording or sound work. The so-called manager of KZYX and CEO of MCPB 
Corp. knows next to nothing about radio and he knew even less when the 
board hired him to run KZYX because they liked the cut of his jib. A 
real manager of a real radio station pays the airpeople before he pays 
himself, so. Also, lying that there's no money to pay the airpeople when 
management is sucking out of the station so much donor money and 
subscription money and tax money for themselves is not ...wait a minute, 
that /is/ professional, for professional crooks, for Star Trek Ferengis 
from Ferenginar. Even /pimps/ give a little of the money back to the 
real workers whose work keeps the pimps in their pimply style.

The problem with dismissing Yasmin as being wrong for bringing her 
grievance into the pubic sphere is, as long as you deal with the 
management and board of KZYX all private-like, they put you off and 
treat you like shit and/or ignore you literally forever and just keep 
getting away with it. I have personal experience with this; in just a 
few months I will have been waiting for /seven years/ to get my 
excellent, proven, local, live, truly community radio show scheduled on 
KZYX. When you open your mouth in public about how they have treated 
you, you're branded a /crank/, and I suppose they keep getting away with 
it that way too, hmm. Either way, everyone keeps losing, maybe, but 
wouldn't you rather know what's going on? and the people who run KZYX 
will never show their cards. They are a closed club and they will not 
engage in serious back-and-forth dialog on any level about the secret 
inner workings of power there. I don't mind hearing from Yasmin, and if 
you do, Kathy, just don't read her, and problem solved for you.
