Please, I beg you, let's not stoop to such 'dirty tricks'
Radioezp,
I a sure that you have a great deal of knowledge about what BVG was aluding to.
However, I am disapointed by the sarcastic, personal and negative tone of your post.
Based on your negativity towards Clear-channel, KQBR, and your admiration for KLLL being number one, I am guessing that you have some connection to K-Triple-L, and that's fine. KLLL is good radio station, so is KQBR, and the Rebel as well.
But I think it is wrong to use this board as some personal attack against a competing station, or a station you do not like. Yes, I know I have been guilty of doing that in the past, and I was wrong for that. Playing out some war between stations or personel in this market, here on the board, reflects badly on Lubbock, its media, and even its citizens.
At a time when we are trying to get the Bush Library, I think that it is not good to be doing anything which reflects badly on West Texas, even if it is something as seemingly small as a few messages on a message board. It is, after all, a public forum.
It may be true that KLLL has done well in the past, or even that it will do well in the future. But let us all agree to leave our personal wars and opinions of "the other station" back on our tables and desks in the control room. Radio is a small world, and in Lubbock Texas, it is even smaller, and one never knows when a wrong comment might come back to haunt us. This is a lesson I know all to well.
Besides, we all like radio here, it is not as though we are here to fight out personal dislikes. And, it is not only amaturish and makes all of us look bad in my opinion, but it is also a violation of the rules of Radio-Info.com, at the top left coner of your screen.
