Default Why the Great Liberty Net died.

The Great Liberty Net died because the greatest Liberty Net proclaimer
of all time, Y-Man, quit proclaiming. That's right, SWL-ers, if Y-Man
had stayed on the job, The Great Liberty Net would continue to have a
bigger audience than Larry King and Glen Beck combined.

When Y-Man proclaimed The Great Liberty Net, jiffy-pop sales went
through the roof. Diet Coke, hot cocoa mix, Pabst Blue Ribbon Beer -
all the favorite beverages of the listeners, just skyrocketed.
Traffic jams at 7-11 were commonplace. There were even fist-fights
over who would get the last tin of Jiffy-Pop. Some guy pulled a knife
over a 6 pack of PBR at a Safeway in downtown Washington, DC. True
stories, just check 'em out on snopes.com.

And now, Y-Man is gone and so are the listeners. When Y-Man
proclaimed The Great Liberty Net, there wasn't enough radio waves to
go around. If you didn't tune in early, all the radio waves were all
absorbed before you got there, and you didn't have a chance to hear
W1WCR give the roll call. Let alone all the fine commentary given by
the netters.

Come back, Y-Man - give The Great Liberty Net a new lease on life.
Your countrymen are depending on you. You need to hurry and get on
board in time for the return of WB4AIO.
