The point of my story about Bruds was not to criticize Bruds, I have the
utmost respect for the man.  It was to point out that the tech at BZ was
about to kill the call from going on the air and Bruds told him, on the
air, to let the call go through.  So back in those days apparently there
were some standards in play that prompted the tech to instictively go for
the dump button that are no longer the norm.....that was the point of my
story about Bruds.
