[offtopic] 105.9 The Lazer

[Todd Skoog]

Why on earth would this be posted to KCLUG - Could someone explain how this is related to Linux?

Hey folks... I just thought I'd relay an email to all you in KCLUG. It's
been a pretty big topic of discussion over in KULUA [Kansas Unix & Linux
Users Association (kulua.org)].

If you've never listened to The Lazer [105.9] and you don't care much at
all about modern rock or local music then you can just ignore this thread
and I apologize for the offtopic post. But if these topics do interest you
then I urge you to read on and also pass this on to anybody you think
might care...

Thanks,

If you're not into modern rock or local music and you've never listened to
the Lazer (105.9 FM), you can disregard this message.  I apologize for the
offtopic post, but I this is something I feel must be said.

For everyone else, I'm sure you know as well as anyone that the Lazer
recently changed formats to a top 40 station.  With the addition of the
Lazer, there are now 6 stations in the area playing top 40 music, and none
that play modern rock (at least none that play it exclusively).  I know a
lot of people have given up and think nothing can be done about this, but
I disagree.  I have set up a petition at "http://www.virtex.org/lazer" to
protest the change.  I know other people have set up petitions and failed,
but what makes this one different is that for every signature received, an
individual email will be automatically sent to the Lazer.  So, for
example, instead of receiving one petition email with 1000 signatures,
they will receive 1000 emails plus the petition.  This method worked 
wonders for overturning the "know your customer" act, and I have faith it
will work here, too.

All you have to do is enter your name and email, and the rest will be done
for you.  I have attached a copy of the email below which gets sent to the
lazer for anyone who is interested.  What I need you guys to do is both   
sign the petition, and help spread the word to as many people as you can  
so they can sign the petition as well.  Thanks in advance.
