[BC] Re: Ditzy radio listeners

    Probably not the right subject line.

    One of the most sobering aspects of the time I spent in radio was when 
the local suicide prevention/crisis hot-line began with a phone number very 
similar to our request line, one digit different, in about 1975. I did 
Sunday night/ Monday morning overnight maintenance and fielded many calls 
that were intended for their number. Most were just lonely people needing 
someone to listen. Trying to explain to them that they had the wrong number 
was not the right thing to do much of the time. Hope we did some good.

    Of course today it would be a great way to get sued for 
misrespresenttation.
