i've been listening to KPFK since it's inception, in the late 1950's -- before that, I listened to KPFA when i was in college in the Bay Area. i don't have to detail what i listened to prove it. my point was that you didn't have the inside knowledge of WBAI 15 or 20 years ago which you claim to have had for the past 10 years. didn't i make myself clear? now, am i right in making that assumption, or not?

i didn't say i "know nothing" about WBAI. i said i'm not familiar with it. i'm familiar with KPFA and KPFK. please don't misquote me.

are you always this pissy?
