These statements are all entirely correct...which continues to beg the 
question: if there's nothing we as DXers can do except wait it out, why 
do some of us get SO very worked up by any bit of even vaguely pro-IBOC 
writing that gets forwarded to the list, regardless of the source or the 
date on it?

As someone who writes for several industry trade publications (Radio 
World until recently, Radio Journal for a while now, and soon Radio 
Guide as well), I can tell you that most of these articles make 
precisely zero impact on the industry.

How long has it been since anyone, pro-IBOC or anti-, has really had 
anything new to add to the discussion? It certainly feels, especially on 
this end, like it's just the same old complaints being rehashed 
endlessly, and to what point?
