I enjoyed your show, Mike and it was nice of you to mention the Central tribute.
However, about the lack of comments — you may have overlooked the many times I have left comments for you on the ONSUG. I can’t tell you how many over the years, but I do remember one time stopping the comments because you were simply *not responding to them*.
Also, PQ Ribber commented and spoke highly of your show weekly on his “Week in Review” segments on the Central and I believe I have mentioned your program many times as well on the Central in the same capacity. Not to mention that I have spoken about your show many times on Hey Everybody it’s Jimbo. I seem to recall The Fusebox doing a whole segment about you (about podcast rules or something) not too long ago as well. And I am sure I am overlooking others.

Yeah, Jimbo, I guess I’m just a natural born misanthrope haha.
Thanks for the comment, Dan! I like your music a lot!
