I don't think I said it didn't, Mike. Instead, I'm pretty sure I said CB
"went to h*ell in a handbasket" after the Hollywood movies of the time. Is
there some conflict in that? Do you not agree that CB increased on
popularily dramatically after those movies and that problems increased
dramatically as a result of that growth? That increased popularity was the
final nail in the coffen of civilized CB. Unless there is some conflict I
don't see, I stand by what I originally said.

I just say it went there some years earlier than you believe it did. I
was there and listening.
