Default Eduardo is just angry about the latest Arbitron study of theHD Radio farce

Also, Eddy boy, I knew Edwin Armstrong and Armstrong you're not. To
place him in the same sentence with you, iBiquity or anything else
going on today in radio is a travesty. You should be ashamed of
yourself.


You would have to be well into your 70's to have known him as an adult...
maybe that explains your luddite values.



Not everyone who fails to embrace HD is bairn of Ludd. After all, the
same persons you brand as Luddites have, historically: been on the
internet, users of Satellite Radio--and in many cases, satellite
TV--listeners to podcasts, and/or internet Radio. That's hardly Luddism,
Brother.

It's just a more discriminating approach to the merits of a specific
technology.

The objections to HD radio are not a blanket objection to new
technology. They are objections three to this technology: The absurd
price and ongoing fee structure, the failure to live up to its hype, and
the insane amounts of interference generated.

That's not Luddism. What's more, is that you know that.

Present an alternative that generates no interference and the
objections to HD radio will go away.

You know that, too.


But your inability to speak rationally in non-corporate speak about
this topic, except when you drag out the 'L'-word is making you sound
desperate, David. More to the point, your inability to preach in
something other than iBiquity-speak, makes you sound evermore the shill.

If you really want them to embrace your point...talk to them, not at
them. Something you tell your talent every day.

You're a master debater. But you're not very persuasive.

Persuasion is what your trying to achieve, isn't it?
