Hi all. I couldn't get to the meeting but want to thank all of you who did, and all of you who are here talking about this. I'm glad Jack spoke up to share some dissenting views, even though I don't share them. I agree entirely with Mark Thistel and others.

Marc's human like the rest of us, of course, and I'm not deifying him at all. For me this isn't about him personally, but about trying to protect our little corner of the media universe from the rising tide of corporate influence, and about protesting when a station I've invested in for years both treats an employee terribly and displays such total lack of regard for what the rest of us think. I've had enough of that attitude from the Bushies.

I've routinely tried to support WYPR sponsors over the years, and to let them know I appreciate their contribution to keeping it on the air. To me it now makes perfect sense to communicate, and act on, my new feelings about whether they're doing a good thing in supporting the station.

Warm regards to all.
