What part of the email was a lie?

And it's not really fair to judge a 90 minute show based on you listening to 20 minutes of it.

Well, I knew it would get misconstrued. I specifically said don't accuse me of accusing y'all of false advertising. I was trying to explain that to the average webmaster, the purpose of visiting a board (including participating in its activities such as the radio show) is to learn, or teach or display their sig or something constructive and that is going to benefit their business, enhance their skills, etc.

And since The Butcher apparently was not willing to do the show last night (to the point where y'all said you would run a tape from a telephone call in lieu of his actually being present for the show)....the show was not as advertised in that sense, through no fault of yours, I understand.

And last week the show was going off at 8:56 p.m. so I thought it would only be an hour show this week as well.

I don't think 20 minutes is unreasonable to decide if something is worth continuing to listen to or watch. Just as in writing, wherein one wants to "hook" the reader immediately or risk boring him and losing him. Jeez, we are told that our sites need to load quickly or bored surfers will click out and move on.

I think the gist of what I am saying is fairly obviouls and reasonable.

Blue Quartz, you don't need to "remind" me of my right to not listen to something I don't like. I know how to operate a remote control and change the channels a long time ago.

"I came...I listened...I was bored...I left."
