In my letter to the President I also brought up the fact that they should use an hourly identification at the top of each hour. One thing I have seen though is that since they have gotten a new manager in the past six months they are much responsive to the subscribers and even seem eager to hear from us. I guess the reason I in spite of all have a high opinion of In-Touch is that i know from broadcast experience both on the commercial side and the non-commercial side what it takes to keep something like that going. As I know you are aware of to keep that much broadcast material coming twenty four hours per day seven days per week depending on volunteers is a formatible task which they do well. I realize that on the sattelite service they are limited in technical quality by funds but sometime if you want me to get on my soapbox get me started on the In-Touch audio quality. That is for another message though. Grant -- Uucp: ..!{decvax,oliveb}!bunker!hcap!hnews!381!9.0!Grant.Downey Internet: Grant.Downey@p0.f9.n381.z1.fidonet.org
