It is ridiculous that you don't recognize it for what it is, a simple

All I can say is, you must have a thick skin to stand up and humiliate
yourself like this in front of the readers of this group.

Actually, I enjoy making you look foolish. You did not, of course, dare to
actually check the data.

This is, perversely perhaps, a major entertainment.

I'm sure a lot of those people didn't know who you were.

Most of them did. They read Inside Radio, they read Radio Ink (#2 Major
Market PD of the Year a few years back in their industry poll) and RBR
and
R&R and so on.

Uh huh....so you say....

going back to when I was a GM for Mooney Broadcasting (WKGN, WMAK, WBSR,
etc.)

Tell you what: Call Tom Tyler, editor of Inside Radio, and ask him. Or
call
Owen Charlebois, President of Arbitron. Or Mark Mays or Randall Mays of
Clear Channel. Ask any of them. Go ahead.

The question is, if I didn't call a few people whom you have hand
picked, what would they say? Don't treat me like a fool. This is the
oldest, most transparent trick in the book.

The President of Arbitron? The COO and CFO of Clear Channel? Those are about
the biggest figures in our insutry, and not known for lying.

Never did. I use several variants, with and without middle name and
second
given name, as do most people. William Ferdinad Barkley, III is Bill to
friends, William F. Barkley on his busines card, and the full thing on
legal
papers. All depends on the venue. Same name, differnt extensions.

Yes, it all depends on the venue. If it's a venue you wish to lie in,
then you use one name. If it's a venue you wish to tell the truth in,
then you use another.

All are parts of the same name. I post with my first two names. You post
with your first name. Same thing.
I sign my checks with my full name. You probably do, too..
Nothing is being hidden, and anyone who bothers can find ot every and all of
them.

Yet you could verify this all... I even gave you names... but you won't.
It
is more fun to be in denial, and use your lies to try to invalidate the
point that HD is here, like it or not.

It's far, far too late for you to attempt to implement this kind of
damage control. You've been caught too many times for this to work.
It's like putting a bandaid on decapitation.

You are simply triying to discredit an industry voice of reason and logic on
the HD issue. Who cares if I use my middle name or not all of the time. Is
George Bush a different person from George W. Bush or G.W. Bush? I think
not.
