why do you care? You obviously have a vested interest in the station. Or, GASP, you could be Elroy posing as someone else. Also, if I don't like something about a station, I as a listener have the right to say I don't. Just because a station or anything else for that matter is number one, doesn't mean people will not have complaints about it. That's how you stay number one in the first place.
Another thing, I have visited and lived in Chicago off and on for twenty years now, so I think I know a little bit more about Chi-Town than you!!! Oh, and for the record, I DO own an IPOD, but that doesn't mean I can't still listen to the radio and say what I like and don't like about it. It is called being an involved listener. So, instead of taking up for an egotistical PD like Elroy R.C. Smith, you need to be focusing on the listener instead. Because if it wasn't for them companies such as: Clear Channel, Emmis Communications, CBS Radio, etc. would have to shut their doors!!!!
Look, I really don't care what you think. If I see something wrong with a business I will speak up about it. So you may as well stop trying to put me down and just let sleeping dogs lie, because persons like yourself RKChgo (or maybe Elroy in disguise) will only make me speak up LOUDER!!!!
1. I am not he. I am me. There are folks on this board who know who I am and where I am. Rest assured, I am not he.
2. You keep saying things like "If I see something wrong with a business I will speak up about it." The problem is, it's YOUR OPINION. I have no issue with you not agreeing with what he did. I have an issue with you badmouthing him and saying it's WRONG. It's not WRONG. It's simply not what you prefer. And I wish you had the honesty and integrity to admit that, rather than badmouth someone with far more success than you.
3. Born in Evanston. Lived in the city (northside) as well as Park Ridge, Des Plaines, Mount Prospect, Wheeling, Wauconda, Fox Lake, and Round Lake Heights. 42 years in the metro. Not off and on; just on. You know more about Chicago than I? Try again.
4. I find that generally, when people say the same thing over and over and over again, louder each time, without change, it means that they haven't bothered to pay any attention to an opposing viewpoint.
In closing: Hamp, you have every right to speak your opinion. And I have every right to speak mine. And I did. And it's up to the readers of this board to decide with whom they agree. I don't think saying the same wrong-headed things over and over, louder and louder, will work for you. After all, this is not the OTA board. <grin>
Have a nice time in Chicago.
