I am not about to call that blowhard. It takes too much of my valuable time trying to get in and past a screener.

Trust me, I have tried before.

Nope. I am calling the station manager and pointing out that I was an Arbitron viewer this last time and purposely did NOT listen to Rush for the entire week, plus I wrote my complaint about smuttiness on the Aritron sheet, which if his ratings go down means that the local station can't charge as much money for the ads on his show. AND I am going to call advertisers, too.

OK, here is the scoop. I called and talked to a very nice man who was listening to me very sympathetically UNTIL I mentioned Arbitron. He then said that BECAUSE I had mentioned Arbitron he couldn't continue the call. Apparently Arbitron viewers are suposed to be anonymous and his knowing about me was a no-no or something.

So, if you have to make a call about something DO NOT mention Arbitron.

Anyway, that is what I found out. He did say they were sorry and that he was really sorry he couldn't continue the call. I sure wish Common Tator was around so he could tell me if that guy was telling me the truth.
