On that note, 5-6 years ago, I used to have an old Boortz mindspring email address, from when it was on an early, early version of his web page. That address wasn't even on his web page at the time. This was long before syndication.
I'd email some fairly obscure material into it, that I'd found here, late at night, and fairly frequently, it would show up on the program the next morning.
While I never got any emails back, I'm pretty sure I know where he got those items.
Boortz picked up this Carter story the day after (cough) an alert Freeper posted it.
