 How do, Mike?

 > MP> They also air some British comedies that are quite good.
 >When you say, "They." I trust you speak of PBS? Would I be
too bold to ask

 MP> In Kentucky.  It should be in the tagline.  ;-)  Here, we have a

Today, with all the Telneting, and ISP business, one can never tell from a
node number where one resides any more. Gone are the days - mostly - where
one calls a BBS. /-:

they pay for

Over air, one would have to be really good, or really lucky to get a
Canadian channel from that far South. (I think they might still use C-Band
satellite.) For the PBS affiliate, the one that arrives here also carries
quite a few British comedies also. The difference between your Kentucky,
and our Spokane based broadcasters might come with some regional content
only.

 MP> Probably not.  Dr. Phil's show is pretty tame, compared to some of the
 MP> other talk shows.  They harvest most of their guests from the trailer
 MP> parks, I think.  

 You'd think sometimes, but Dr. Phil is a trained Shrink, and does
tend to avoid the tornado magnets. It would seem Jerry Springer sticks to
the trailers, and Maury Povich concentrates on the `projects.'


 > >Chronic Pain echo. 

 MP> I may look into adding that one here.

Like I said, the echo seems to have one less participant than this one.
Guess only two people are in pain, or everybody else went Hyper Text.
