Question for Tardo
"Steve" wrote in message ups.com... Hey Tardo, on that rather sad exercise in narcissism that you call your "website", Obviously, you have no achievements you ar eproud of. I do. you say you spent some time in college-level journalism seminars at Michigan State University, and you display an image of something that LOOKS like a diploma, but which you refer to as a "certificate of achievement". It was a summer course of study, not a 4 year program. Lots of colleges offer them for students looking for advanced placement later. So did you graduate from Michigan State with an actual degree? No. The session was for advanced High School students with some jounalism experience, like being a school paper editor. Like many such courses, they were a good introduction to college level studies and very useful towards acceptance at another college, often for advanced placement. If so, why don't you come out and say it? If not, why would you bother, after all these many years, to roll out your ultimately insignificant "certificate of achievement"? Inquiring minds want to know... .... because the site is, in part, a biography. And the course is one of the things I did. |

What exactly did you do to earn this right? Surely anyone can criticize the DX community if they want to. for becoming anti radio instead of the traditional radio devotees that earlier typified the hobby. Who are the non-traditional devotees that, in your mind, today typify 'the hobby'? To feel good, a few here need to discredit me to justify their hatred of broadcasters who, at the end of the day, benefit not a bit from DXers today.- Hide quoted text - No, Tardo, If I want to 'feel good', I'll just create a biographical website showing the whole world all of the little gold stars I received on my elementary school report cards. And nope, I don't hate broadcasters who happen not to benefit from my Dxing. Nor do I hate carpenters or plumbers or tax attorneys who fail to benefit from my DXing. Why should my DXing benefit anyone other than me? It is, after all, a hobby, not a charity. |

It doesn't make sense that you'd be so obsessed with them if you truly regarded them as insignificant. It's funny actually. Earlier in this thread you said that "[t]o feel good, a few here need to discredit me to justify their hatred of broadcasters", but no one here has sought you out. You come to this group of your own volition, and a look at your profile reveals that you post more here than anywhere else by a wide margin. An interesting fact given that there are plenty of broadcasting-related groups out there. Sorry, but your behavior is not at all motivated by a "love of broadcasting". Nor does a love of broadcasting rationalize your bizarre, self-aggrandizing website, where readers find everything from your family history to the "certificate of accomplishment" you received from some summer program you participated in at Michigan State. People simply don't go to these lengths unless they're grappling with feelings of shame and inferiority. It's a pity you're unwilling to discuss them openly and honestly. |

That "chip" is a love of broadcasting, something DXers, in some significant proportion, seem to have lost. How dare you. The loss of love of Broadcasting by DXers is something that is, itself, a very late development. Most DXers didn't lose the love of broadcasting, until they were openly discounted, disrepected, and held in open contempt by broadcasters. Something broadcasters, themselves, have been doing for far more than the handful of years that DXers have been responding with disdain to. Broadcasters have been spitting in the face of DXers for at least 30 years that I can recall. Sometimes, one on one. Sometimes, as Mark Byford did at BBCWS, in mass media presentations, and in direct messages on his own radio stations. Imagine the gall of a shortwave broadcaster telling his listeners, en masse, that his programming was intended for 'decision makers and opinion formers' and would be made preferentially available to them, while eliminating service to hundreds of millions of listeners at a stroke, because they simply weren't elite enough. We're not talking about local radio, here. We're talking about a shortwave broadcaster. DX by design. With more than 120 million listeners worldwide. Told in no uncertain terms that they were of no importance, and not worth being served. You think that may have something to do with loss of passion for broadcasting? It sure turned my radio dial in a hurry. I've worked at radio stations where the engineers were not permitted to respond to listener reception reports because, and this is a quote by the GM, "They're not worth the postage." This was in 1977. He's by far not exclusive in my work experience. Something you've demonstrated for some months here, yourself. You think that may have something to do with DXer disdain? DXers have been enthusiasts for broadcasting until only a few years ago. They've stood by those who echo your sentiments for more than 20 years while being openly and personally dissed by Broadcasting. How dare you display the temerity to imply that the problem is with DXers. Look within your own ranks. Why the hell would ANYONE remain loyal to an industry which speaks of them the way Broadcasting speaks of Dx...the way YOU speak of DX. Fans don't leave without cause, David. Enthusiasm doesn't die. It's murdered. The first slap in the face came from broadcaster themselves. Look in your own house before you dare point a finger at your listeners. And Broadcasting has been holding that smoking gun for decades. YOU have pulled the trigger here, more times than I can count...in this thread alone. How dare you. You arrogant son of a bitch. |

Perhaps you worked with people who didn't have sufficient appreciation of what you'd accomplished. Maybe they tried to use your lack of formal education against you in some petty, political way. Who knows? I sure don't. This isolated piece of your personal history could have been subtly relevant on many occasions, the cumulative effect being the chip you now have on your shoulder. That "chip" is a love of broadcasting, something DXers, in some significant proportion, seem to have lost. But you're constantly remarking that DXers are a very small group. It doesn't make sense that you'd be so obsessed with them if you truly regarded them as insignificant. It's funny actually. Earlier in this thread you said that "[t]o feel good, a few here need to discredit me to justify their hatred of broadcasters", but no one here has sought you out. You come to this group of your own volition, and a look at your profile reveals that you post more here than anywhere else by a wide margin. An interesting fact given that there are plenty of broadcasting-related groups out there. Sorry, but your behavior is not at all motivated by a "love of broadcasting". Nor does a love of broadcasting rationalize your bizarre, self-aggrandizing website, where readers find everything from your family history to the "certificate of accomplishment" you received from some summer program you participated in at Michigan State. People simply don't go to these lengths unless they're grappling with feelings of shame and inferiority. It's a pity you're unwilling to discuss them openly and honestly. Don't forget that he began posing as 'Eduardo' in late 1999 or early 2000! |

My company, a large Defense contractor, would just throw your resume in the trash. In broadcasting, after a few year's experience, accomplishments are what are evaluated, not degrees. |

"D Peter Maus" wrote in message ... The loss of love of Broadcasting by DXers is something that is, itself, a very late development. Most DXers didn't lose the love of broadcasting, until they were openly discounted, disrepected, and held in open contempt by broadcasters. The broadcasters, particularly engineers, I have spoken with, find that DXers started becoming less pro-radio as AM quit being a music medium and lots of stations didniche formats like religion, ethnic, etc., or went talk with networked content on 600 affiliates. Something broadcasters, themselves, have been doing for far more than the handful of years that DXers have been responding with disdain to. Disagree. I think broadcasters have a greate deal of interest in local listeners, and spend more than ever to determine their likes and dislikes and overall preferences. Broadcasters have been spitting in the face of DXers for at least 30 years that I can recall. Sometimes, one on one. Sometimes, as Mark Byford did at BBCWS, in mass media presentations, and in direct messages on his own radio stations. I know lots of broadcasters who caution talk hosts or programmers to ignore out of market listening of any kind, since the business model has moved away from taking such listeners into account as driven by advertisers. Imagine the gall of a shortwave broadcaster telling his listeners, en masse, that his programming was intended for 'decision makers and opinion formers' and would be made preferentially available to them, while eliminating service to hundreds of millions of listeners at a stroke, because they simply weren't elite enough. And there are new SW broadcasters every week? SW is a good indication that the audience has moved on to better technologies. We're not talking about local radio, here. We're talking about a shortwave broadcaster. DX by design. With more than 120 million listeners worldwide. Told in no uncertain terms that they were of no importance, and not worth being served. And ever-declining. I looked at radio ratings in Ecuador in the late 60's when there were many, many SW stations. Never saw one, local or national or international even mentioned. The motive for SW, getting remote listeners, is better served (except in controlled nations) by the web and other options such as local broadcast of national or even foreign shows. You think that may have something to do with loss of passion for broadcasting? It sure turned my radio dial in a hurry. No, in the SW case, it is a loss of listener need for SW and its comparitively lower quality. I've worked at radio stations where the engineers were not permitted to respond to listener reception reports because, and this is a quote by the GM, "They're not worth the postage." This was in 1977. That sounds reasonable. More than the postage, it is the wasted time. As more and more stations became competitive in each market, doing useless things was closely monitored. 1977 was the year that nationally FM surpassed half of all listening. He's by far not exclusive in my work experience. Something you've demonstrated for some months here, yourself. Actually, in LA our DoE is a ham. The company let him put a 10 meter relay on our roof, in fact. And we answer valid reports. But for every one of those, we get a bunch that are fabrications... based on streaming listening or "I heard your station plesase QSL" and no RP. You think that may have something to do with DXer disdain? Self inflicted, I think. DXers have been enthusiasts for broadcasting until only a few years ago. They've stood by those who echo your sentiments for more than 20 years while being openly and personally dissed by Broadcasting. Again, for a reason. Read AM (DX News, etc) publications and see the constant ragging about synidcated overnight shows, etc. How dare you display the temerity to imply that the problem is with DXers. Look within your own ranks. Why the hell would ANYONE remain loyal to an industry which speaks of them the way Broadcasting speaks of Dx...the way YOU speak of DX. As a DXer, I am dismayed by the attitudes... when you have DXers in their public message boards calling companies "Cheap Channel" and "Idiotvision" it does not take much to write the whole community off. Fans don't leave without cause, David. Enthusiasm doesn't die. It's murdered. DXers are not fans, today. And what used to be viewed as amusing is now viewed as annoying. The first slap in the face came from broadcaster themselves. Look in your own house before you dare point a finger at your listeners. With more stations came tighter budgeting... and a lot of engineers with multiple stations to deal with... and these engineers are of a generation that does not know what DX is, and don't care. And Broadcasting has been holding that smoking gun for decades. YOU have pulled the trigger here, more times than I can count...in this thread alone. How dare you. You arrogant son of a bitch. We have been collectively pushed to the point of dismay by DXers... particularly the amount of totally fake reception reports that come in. |
