Hi Bruce,

Thanks for the update on the status of OKOM programing.  I hope I wasn't 
too harsh when I warned the people on "the other list" (DJML) about the 
"time warp" as I perceive it.  I listen frequently, but certainly not 
24/7, and I have heard only one segment where the date was announced as 
early 2006, nothing more recent.  That said, I keep listening as my 
preferences for MKOM are so close to what is played.  The only time the 
time warp is frustrating is when I hear something in the discussion 
where I could contribute additional info, or would like to comment, then 
realize the discussion was several years ago.  Keep it up and I hope you 
and Kelley get your scheduling machine up and running soon.

Regards,

Napa Don
