Adam-

this is how mailing lists work. THe conentration on this list is people in
the Boston area. I am up in Maine. I have no interest in anything in
Massachicettes, Connecticut.....I might skim it over but it is not
anything I really know too much about, nor honestly, do I care. I am here
for the Maine radio stuff. And discussion about Maine radio is minimal
compared to Boston Radio- but this IS the BOSTON radio interest list,
meaning most of the discussion focuses on Boston radio. NO ONE is
punishing Western Massers!!!!!! Hell I prefer Western Mass people, they
drive more courtious! I would say that over 50% of the people on this
mialing list are from Boston, maybe 10% FROM mAINE, 10% FROM Western Mass,
10% from New hampshire and Vermont, 10% from New York, and probably
another 10% that are from around here and like to keep caught up and live
in other areas, maybe canada, jersey, etc.....adam don't take it
personally. A western mass radio list would have about 2-5 posts a day :)

all the best,
Jeremy
