i have great respect for the folks at WBAI, but i would like to add the criticism (that i have voiced before on this list) that i am not sure any additional money would be spent by WBAI in any more productive a manner than they spend their time now. i will repeat my examples: - an evening show on phone network cracking, etc - a PC show that frequently recommends software purchases, while free public-domain software might do the trick - their tendency to break out the chomsky tapes only at fund-raising while otherwise promoting people like arundhati roy (sorry joanna, i really do think of her as somewhat of a bono of india) - arcane music programmes (yes alternative music is very important, but i am not sure the quantity and [lack of] quality are justified) - that crazy leftist dude doug henwood! ;-) ;-) there are other pet peeves i have against WBAI; admittedly some of them are nothing more than whining at not having it my way... --ravi
