This appears to be the quote in question: "Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than speak and remove all doubt." It is usually accredited to Abraham Lincoln but there seems to be some question, as to its origin.
Didn't have to wait long for this leftover from Deliverance to make with the usual "tranny" crack, did we? Boring.

As I have said before, and I don't mind repeating it: You boys are delusional to the point of having a Stroke. During my entire career, in both Radio & TV, I was never fired from any job, by anyone. None of Y'all can match that! So, just learn to live with it! Today, I am as Happy as anyone can get, and not bitter about anything. You have that to ponder too. Currently, my Biggest decision is whether to have Steak, Lobster or both, tonight for Supper??? By the way, I interviewed the late, Leonard Nimoy, and Y'all didn't do that either....annnnnnnnnnnnd,....Y'all have to go to work every morning, and I don't!

Dropped for John Boy and Billy, fired, not much difference. There is no shame in getting fired unless it was for cause. Guys with big paychecks and long careers, such as Stern and Limbaugh, got fired a lot. I was fired five times in my career and I'm not ashamed of it at all. I'm of the opinion that if you never get fired you're playing it too safe.

No, Sodium-Pooch, our contract was up. Mike Benson & Lee Rogers were the only two fired. Mike went to Asbury Park, Kevin Barbare was offered Production Director, but passed, to go to Boston. Lee accepted that job, and I worked in the office, 12-more months, promoting our new product, JB&B, before resigning to open a retail store. Whether you like it.....or Whether you don't like it....That, is the truth! Also, I was asked to stay on, and not leave, but opening my store was Priority 1!
Higgins,...come get the Wench, and bring me my Robe & Slippers.

Jethro/JethreneM,...You have once again painted yourself into the corner of Duncehood.
There is a difference between a Wrench, and what I typed, a "Wench".
Go to the nearest thinking adult, even a Consultant would do, in this case, and ask them to explain to you the difference.

Which means management wanted to fire you, but decided it was cheaper to wait until the term ended rather than terminate you like they wanted to and that the focus groups and research told them that they should do ASAP. Which explains why you have not been on the air in two decades.
Oh, I get it now! In this context, then, a "Wench" would be a particular model of a Doc Johnson toy.
Really? You go by "Scooter" in real life and mock my screen name?
Would you prefer I use the word from the 1993 headline, "dropped"?
"WROQ drops Mike, Scooter" Article excerpt: "WROQ-FM, better known as Rock 101, is dropping its Mike and Scooter morning show next month to make room for a comedy duo from Charlotte." ""We're doing our best to reassign these people within the company," Rogers said, adding that the Mike and Scooter show hasn't been as popular as hoped. "They've done a great job. We hate to do something like this. But, obviously, a radio station lives on its ratings.""
Ouch.
Lee Rogers was made much more recent news, I see. Yesterday. "Entercom Upstate Names Rogers as News Director" http://news.****************/cgi-bin/rol.exe/headline_id=n30695

Lee Rogers is an honest man, with my Top Self of Respect. However, reading that, and believing that, was as premature then, as it is today. Shortly, after that went to print, Lee was fired. He was later placed as Production Director, after Kevin Barbare declined that job. John Boy & Billy were and after thought, as it was to be Howard Stern, per the GM & the Consultant, with the Owner pulling that idea at 11:59! I was in Sales, as well, with 35 clients, while on the Air. I got two Paychecks!! I was not renewed for the Air, but I wasn't Fired or going anywhere, until I resigned 12/13 months later; to open a retail store.
There is also, later, another article, per Ken Carson, where he fires everyone, and takes credit for JB&B, and he wasn't even in the building, until they were
on the Air.
Ken stated that he fired Mike & Scooter! He didn't Fire anyone: I'm still there, and he has never met Mike, much less Fired him.
Just the kind of Horse Manure, that only Radio can produce. Just keep on believing the Press, if you choose, but it is a habit laced with error.

So where do we point the Boney Finger of Blame?
CD Rot story: It was a 2008 Christmas present from his daughter. My friend received the new 2-CD Hits Compilation of Paul McCartney, entitled "Wing Span".
For the first time, the label offered the Radio edits of these Hits; as they were sought after, Hotter Mixes. By the time, ownership reached June of the following year('09), disc #2 had decayed to Unplayable status.
So, y'all all weigh-in here...

On one web site I was a member of, someone called herself "Spikeswench". Another person on the site read that as "Spikeswrench". At the time, I was having fun making up new names every so often, so I chose "Spikeswrench" and made it clear that was a reference to Spike Lee, not Spike on the TV series "Angel". I wasn't referring to any Spike, but just wanted my name to be distinctive. My email address in the Beautiful Instrumentals and Vocals Yahoo group is Spikeswrench. And yes, I complained about the loss of WMUU in that group, as did others.
