Les,
Well, I stuck my foot in my mouth again. No, just giving him a hard
time. I think he took it that way, as he e-mailed me direct shortly
afterward with a private comment on something else, and didn't seem
to be over perturbed.

Thank you for giving me a chance to unload myself, to apologize for
comments made that I regret after the fact. Steve Ratzlaff chided me
via direct mail about exactly this.
The only time that I have intentionally "chided" a broadcaster was
with the KXEL débacle. That came to no good.

Back to my comment, which I THOUGHT was made obvious by the Subject
line, that it was intended as a joke.

It's obvious that I AM being held to a higher standard than I thought
before. So, I must temper my remarks.
