I can find my own shits and giggles here locally. I'm not against fun or whatever. But I visit and participate in webmaster forums for business reasons, and I attended the radio show for the same reason. Time is money. I wouldn't continue visiting a board that never had a useful thread, so why would I listen to a radio show from a board that wasn't useful, at least as far as I stayed with it (one third of the way)?
You never get a second chance to make a good first impression.
And I really think Blue Quartz is coming on a little strong with his "nobody owes you anything in life" rant. Fact is, if a board is being run for the instructive benefit of its members, as I believe this board is, it is reasonable for me to believe that the weekly reminder emails I get about its radio show are as advertised and going to be worth my time and instructive as well. If one advertises it, then, yes, one does "owe" the readers/listeners what it says in its ad. (And please don't go off on a rant that I am accusing anyone of false advertising or any sort of deception!!!) I thought the portion of last night's show that I did listen to didn't deliever, and didn't seem to be leading up to delivering anything worth listening to any further.
I'll listen again in future, time permitting. But last night, after 20 minutes of the show wandering all over the road...time no longer permitted. Plus it was my birthday, friends were coming over, so I left the listening audience at that point.
