C'mon Nat, you've been in Eau Claire long enough to know that this town
misses out on a LOT of useful stuff that many places don't.   :)
UW-Madison has a list processor; Eau Claire has a computer system run by
a bunch of idiots who fell for the good times virus (I'm not making this
up).

I have no problem with it, unless they have mindless filler when they
could be augmenting their coverage with other games.  WTBS is nationwide,
yet I can't imagine complaining about the Atlanta-centered coverage.
It's nice to have as much available as possible (at least people who live
in other places tell me this is so).
