You misunderstand me, Ken. For the record, I think Journal is definitely one of the better companies currently in broadcasting. God knows it’s better than Clear Channel. I wasn’t “attacking” the company, although I can see how it may have come off that way.

I do think the decision to take the company public was a wrong-headed idea on the part of the employees. They used to be owners of a company that was relatively immune from stock market ups and downs. That is no longer the case, unfortunately for them, I think.

As for me using a pseudonym, well, you’ll have to take my word that I have what I consider to be a good reason for it.

I get your point, Don. You’re correct that the decision to take the company public isn’t directly related to your story, but as I said, I think it has made the company more vulnerable to volatility.

This doesn’t really have ANYTHING to do with taking the company public…
