Re: Today's L(garble)T(garble)A(garble)R



I must admit that there are often times when the techhie-talk makes me gloss
over.  I would offer that "jargon" is in the ear of the be-hearer.  HOWEVER,
I zoom right into focus when the posts appear about the behind-the-scenes
escapades of radio personalities, or about the checkered histories of Boston
radio.  I love that stuff!  I guess there's something here for all types of
radio geek (said with affection).

Happy Holidays!
