Isn't that wonderful you used the bully power of your media
outlet to kill off dissenting opinion. You must be proud.

These trolls were not ordinary complainers... thery were nut cases
of the first water and there was considerable entertainment value
in their behaviour. In addtion to complaining, they were rude or
obscene or personally offensive to myself and my staff.

One was a character who thought himself the protector of the
Spanish language, and who objected to the use of the term "troca"
for "pickup truck" instead of the traditional "camioneta" which
nobody uses on the street. The guy would write 7 and 8 page letters
about language, failing to see that word usage is dynamic.


"Troca" ~ Spanglish - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spanglish

Spanish & Chicano English

We ambushed him by having two university professors who explained how
language changes.

- It made for informative radio, with the entertainment value
- of a nutcase who wanted to roll language usage back 100 years.

Sounds like L'Académie Française and their Annual Exorcism
of English Word Usage that creaps into theFrench Language

SNIP

Now you are going to give Eduardo a Spanish lesson? Now that is funny.

Terrestrial radio's biggest problem is retaining advertising revenues

staggering 80% over the last five years. But the bottom isn't even in

radio companies to go down harder than almost anything else and he
would
not
own any of them under any condition right now.

Cramer is the biggest dumbass in the financial world!

And you are the biggest dumb ass posting to this news group.

Another thought provoking post by our resident troll Telletroll. I bet you

Psssst. Look at the thread title, seems on topic to me. But being as dense

Here is a clue for 14 year old poster boys. Posting crap to on topic
thread does not make your post on topic. A good example is the new news
group retard "MNMikew".

Try again Mikey.

Share price does not indicate value. A share of one company that goes for
$80 is no better a buy than one that sells for $5 if the earnings per share
and other fundamentals are in proportion to the stock price. Many companies
do stock splits when shares go up in price, in fact.
