Well, so I got involved in this<br>
enough that I have one more comment:<br>
<br>
Open Lines wasn't much.<br>
The few times I listened,<br>
I wished someone had the 10 second Gong.<br>
Had nothing to do with "Fuck, etc",<br>
a lot to do with basic blah blah B.S.<br>
A lot like computer discussions.<br>
No threat to anyone.<br>
Rarely sensible enough<br>
to make one think.<br>
Way past the time limit.<br>

> King, you know the FCC prohibits certain language on the air. The delay machine allows the station to avoid a large fine or worse from the FCC. It's not censorship and you do the programmers a disservice by accusing us of censoring anything other than the words prohibited by the FCC. This nonsense of yours certainly isn't going to get you elected to the board. Why not focus on the real issues instead of ridiculous accusations?<br>
