Yes, but...Steve, I think you've raised a very valid argument here. The one point that is glossed over, however, is the implied social contract (if that is even an appropriate phrase) of XM and it's subscribers that the airwaves would be
"uncensored."Now, to be sure, the marketplace can "vote" with their dollars and simply go elsewhere if they feel they've been harmed. But doesn't management, at some
level, bare responsibility for promises it made to subscribers? The debate is an interesting one on all sides. --Brock ------------------------------------------- Archives: http://v2.listbox.com/member/archive/247/=now RSS Feed: http://v2.listbox.com/member/archive/rss/247/ Powered by Listbox: http://www.listbox.com
