I gladly stand corrected. That said, it doesn't change the impact. A second hand e-mail versus an announcement on a nationally syndicated show - Which would you rather have?

Maybe it's just me...but when a national talk show host takes a shot at FReepers in a somewhat 'crybaby' kinda way, and then tries to appease that audience with an e-mail second hand, I'm a cynic.

OK, thanks, but I just didn't see it as "appeasement." I saw it as a truthful statement from a person I know and trust.

It's Sean's show, and if he gets a burr under his saddle about it, fine. That said, it's damn good to know that Freepers' contributions to the program - even on background - are doing the country good.
