Sorry my questions caused you so much anger. I was asking if
anyone could tell me about what is going on at the VOA and if

forum.

Shortwave has pretty much disappeared from this newsgroup. Nearly
all posts are by closed-minded ideologues berating each other. The
best way I know of to identify a fool is that fools like to argue
with people they consider to be fools.

I answered his question did I not? Did I not point him in the right
direction with the schedule info? Did I not tell him to turn his
radio on? Did I not tell him that the VOA is heard on a regular
basis?

Once again I have to ask, should I go help him tune his radio and
write reception reports for him?

The thread is not about what a hero you are.

When have I ever claimed to be a 'hero', retard?

Your repeated post with the same content labels you. You're correct,
your posting behavior merits descriptions other than 'hero' for doing do.
Please recognize that your posts on this thread are repetitive. You want
recognition that you "answered his question did [you] not? ....". So it
is
recognized that you're repeatedly posted this. So helpfully. So many
times. Thanks so much!

And here's another piece of what you cut:

Think twice, post once.

And you've still provided no useful info on the VOA...

Yes I have. see:

He called it "death by 1000 cuts".
VOA's already reduced to 19 hrs/day will soon be cut to 14. Smith-Mundt
Act
(I'm not familiar with this) which means the changes are done out of
public
view. The board of governors**(mixture*of*commercial*broadcasters*and
political appointees) prefer spending $ on obscure commercial-sounding
propaganda outlets instead (Radio Free Asia, R. Farda, R. Sawa etc [I
don't
know what the etc might be]).**Other*languages*are*also*being*cut.**He
wondered if the funding cuts for VOA is b/c their charter maeans gov't
can't interfere and funding other outlets is subject to no such
constraints.**He*suggests*writing*to*gov't*represe ntatives.**

I'm guessing these cuts have occurred and continue.**I*don't*generally
pursue VOA but have noticed I don't come across it as much when going
after
other stations.**
