Subject: Rich’s 09/24/02 Post.

In case you didn’t click on it, here it is (with my comments):
Date Posted: 19:27:02 09/24/02 Tue
Author: Rich from T.J.
Subject: Why is it, that each time I mention Mike’s success, I’m a _ick?
In reply to: Rich from Thomas Jewelers(alive and well) ‘s message, “Mike’s the BEST!” on 19:27:02 09/24/02 Tue

“Hey Surf...and everyone else. You people really don’t get the Talk Radio thing! Most of you are sales people for other radio stations....or someone like that.”
COMMENT: That is YOUR assumption. That may be true for some of the posts but it is NOT TRUE of mine. Surf can verify that (in my case).
“None of you are buying talk radio spots.”

COMMENT: So, that somehow makes our opinion invalid?

“None of you respect the fact that Mike IS the bigest thing in Talk Radio, in Philly, since Paul W. Smith!!”

COMMENT: That is YOUR opinion. IMHO, Smerconish doesn’t even come close to what Phil Valentine did on the air. I can’t speak about Paul W. Smith since I didn’t live in this area when he was on. I think Michael’s show is OK but is wildly OVERRATED by his more extreme fans (like you).
“And with Grace and a good management team...Who knows?”
COMMENT: If you feel that way about Grace, you should support (or at least give a fair chance) to the other talk shows. I don’t see how ONE show can make a station a success or failure.
“But, this site is for Talk Radio Fans.
Whether your a fan or a thinker, Talk Radio is the way of the future. Sorry(Surf and real fans) that I draw such responses to this site but, let them be fools. I know that Talk Radio is fun...valuable...and important!!!
So, maybe Surf should bump YOUR posts...not mine.”
COMMENT: IMHO, Surf shouldn’t “bump” your posts. However, let me offer you a challenge, Rich. I challenge you in your next post praising Michael for talking about his mom’s website or his trash cans that you NOT mention Katz directly or indirectly. I know it will be hard since you feel the need to bash him but I think you can do it. Oh, and mentioning that you didn’t mention Katz COUNTS as mentioning him. Got it?
“Who knows....perhaps we can tALK ABOUT tALK rADIO, NOT THIS CRAP!!!!! ps...I bet that Katz is a great host, he needs to Talk...not yell or over do it.
Give us the real Jeff Katz and who knows. Not RADIOMAN!
Love you all and be well.”

COMMENT: My problem with you is that I feel that you are a hypocrite vis-à-vis Katz and Smerconish. You bashed Jeff for talking about attending a wedding and not showing up to work when he was in a car accident. On the other hand, Michael talked about his mom’s website and whether or not his trash cans are getting picked up and that is OK by you. You have a double standard in that you tolerate whatever Michael talks about even though you would bash Jeff if he did some of those topics (i.e. trash cans). Your excuse is that Jeff should follow up whatever topics Michael talked about. Well, by that logic, I guess Michael should follow up whatever topics Rush talked about.

So why bust my balls because you don't like what I say or do? I'm not going to get into a pissing match with you over a show or a comment. You obviously have the time, I don't.
My comments about Katz or any other host are no different than the crap you say about Smerconish. So!
I like Smerconish, best of all hosts. I like Dom G. as well.
I have even become somewhat interested in Beck. And I dis-like Imus. Oh well. Rich
