What still annoys me is how Radio Free Allston was shut down-- it ran 
no ads, served groups in the community that were not being served at 
all, was totally non-profit and mainly staffed by volunteers... and 
yet the FCC (on a complaint from, I believe WROR) came in and shut 
them down.  I never understood what harm RFA was doing to anyone with 
their low power and their commitment to the community.  Yet assorted 
pirates who ARE trying to make money still remain on the air.  I don't get it.
