25. I guess I shouldn't have expected an immediate response from advertizers.

I didn't know how complicated advertizing on radio was. For example I didn't know they bought ad slots and didn't always know what programs their ads would be placed on. But, that being said, I wish that the comapanies would have checked where their ads are going and would have had a spokesperson or someone respond to Rush's diatribe and non-factual musings, to put it nicely. He needed to be off the air 20 years ago. But, I will take having him gone today.
