Alan,

Let's assume that a person knows nothing about the issue of BPL, and that he happens to tune across "Coast-To-Coast AM" with BPL as the topic.  If that person has, in marked contrast to fArt Bell-ony and fans, even the smallest capacity for critical thinking and is familiar with the show, then he knows of the ignorance, sensationalist irrationality, and ill-founded rumor-mongering that is endemic to "Coast-To-Coast AM."  Will our person recognize and attach any value to a sensible argument against BPL presented on that show?  Sensible and intelligent statements are known to be very rare and lonely on "Coast To Coast AM."   They will surely be lost in the noise of nonsense one expects from this show.  Discussion of BPL on *that* show will likely not positively influence anyone who could be useful in the fight against BPL.

My apologies to the list for two OT postings on this.  This is my last posting on fArt Bell-ony.  I prefer to post about the K1!
