Mark Twain once said, “Common sense is not so common.” This country needs to return to finding our sense of what is common and using the guidelines of commonality, goodness, badness, rightness, and wrongness to guide us in making decisions and settling problems instead of fighting like illogical first graders.

Well put Buster. And in regard to what Ray M was saying I agree. If “people” would have lowered their male hormone levels a tad, and spent the money on programming, promotions and people- EVERYONE listener, shareholder, advertiser, employee and others would have been much better off in the long-run. But dont let common sense and cool headedness get in the way.

Let’s lock Citadel’s chairman and their lead lawyer and Peak’s chairman and their lead lawyer into a titanium steel cage and let them battle this out WWE style. No judges or referees. Just the four of them battling it out until one party surrenders or is beaten down.
We complain about first graders being unable to settle issues and then we have adults who act the same way. Grow up, settle the issue maturely, and quit padding lawyers pockets while simultaneously decreasing the quality of radio in the Boise market. No wonder Boise radio is starting to suck big time.

Seems to this simple layman that the entire matter is not very productive either in terms of time or money. When all is said and done, nothing will really nave been gained except to have made a bunch of lawyers even more wealthy.

You have to know when to cut your losses. That applies to business and personal issues as well.

The sales data would very likely be sealed – therefore not public. In this instance, from reading the extensive documentation in the case – I don’t think the lawyers are just dragging things out. Citadel says it needs to see things that Peak obviously doesn’t want to divulge – and the two sides tried to settle before the judge put the heat on.

I believe the term is “billable hours”.

Ever get the feeling that the lawyers in this case are stonewalling to drag this out to make as much money for THEMSELVES as possible?

There is an old saying…consider for a moment the following…(and do this with a Rod Serling voice…)

“One lawyer in a town will go broke….two lawyers will clean up!”

Yes, lets make all that sales revenue data PUBLIC… then your competition can have some fun down at the courthouse reading your business affairs…..
