*broadcast* 
~> it because his show is not *broadcast*.

Cutting through all the back-and-forth crap on this, there are at least
three problems with what you DID say.  First, it is wrong, as I already
pointed out.  Cable networks BROADCAST their programs.  Your earlier remark
tried to muddy the waters by adding in an "airwaves" qualification, but you
dropped it out this time.  The cable networks are BROADCAST.  Don't believe
me?  Ask THEM.  "Hardball with Chris Matthews will broadcast live from the
historic hotel's Grand Lobby."  "CNBC, First in Business Worldwide, will
broadcast a two-hour, live Super Tuesday special."  Just a few of the
thousands of examples one can find in a few seconds.

Second problem, it is irrelevant to the point of the thread.  Klahn blamed
Limbaugh for identifying the name.  Since you realize that it was Chris
Matthews who publicized the name, your point was less than a quibble.

And the third and most damning problem is that you tried to offer Klahn a
shallow twist of semantics to make his point seem legitimate, and even
Klahn (the shallowest twister of semantics in fidonet) didn't agree with
it!!!  Even he says that Chris Matthews BROADCAST it on his CABLE show:

 EC> Matthews did BROADCAST it and he

BOBZO> Yes, no one denied that.

Now that the sidetrack has been closed, we can resume the actual thread....
