Yes, that show has [jumped the shark](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jumping_the_shark) at some point in season 2, when they stopped editing properly and let it become a 90-minute or 2-hour show instead of a 1-hour one. The above is typical of recent non-interview clips that I've heard: little to do with Linux or LUGs, gratuitously offensive and personal, everyone talking across each other with lots of incoherent waffle. It's almost like they're scared to shut up and let another presenter speak while they work out what they're trying to say. Are they [spraying their territory](http://www.thecatsite.com/Behavior/52/Spraying-When-Your-Cat-Uses- Urine-To-Mark-Territory.html) with their voices or something? If there's an interview you're interested in, it's still worth the download for that, but don't bother otherwise. If they had the guts to publish it under a free software licence, I expect there'd be more user-friendly cuts, tightly-edited short versions (like [alterslash](http://alterslash.org/) does for slashdot) and probably other stuff I wouldn't guess. Maybe the competition would bring a bit of freshness back, instead of the show slowly getting longer and longer, padded out with rambles that make [John Prescott](http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/politics/2968074.stm) seem like a master of tact and eloquence. I doubt they'll free LugRadio \- they don't seem to rate freedom highly, with the exception of one presenter - and that's their choice, just like it's my choice not to listen to most of it any more. As you can tell from the above, I did tell them when I stopped and why. That in-show comment was their first response. I guess they feel too famous to reply to emails directly any more. (Thanks to Aaron for the tip about the above. Now, I wonder if they'll use any of this in a promo, like I did when the Tories said "I'd rather join a group of tree-hugging lesbian hippies from Ipswich"? Did wonders for my recruitment drive, that did.)

So this [Gareth fellow is making a comparison with smarter, more intelligent terrorist](http://blog.tgb.org.uk/articles/2007/07/04/tardorrist) that was the IRA. Which kind of says that everyone should be far less afraid of the current crop of folks and yet the media, as it does so well, inflates their dangerousness for the sake of ... well, beats me. Oh, maybe it help Tony get a job ;-) If the IRA came to the US, what color (or is that colour) code would their activities get on our terror scale as opposed to these Tardorrists?" How about Emerald Green? More seriously, I think it's entirely fair to suggest we should fear this lot less than the often-USian-funded Provisional IRA, or local groups like animal liberationists. Those didn't just attack the big cities - it was everywhere, an attempt at terrorism. I lived about three miles outside Milton Keynes, then a fairly small midlands city, which was firebombed by both those groups. Ultimately, it didn't work. Most people weren't terrified. We carried on regardless. The government may be over-hyping this threat to ride in a new load of ["expensive and ineffective"](http://www.gm.tv/index.cfm?articleid=26297) Security Theatre measures, like [ID cards](http://www.no2id.net/). [Some](http://www.telegraph.co.uk/opinion/main.jhtml;jsessionid=F2GWJ2X5ULHQVQFIQMGSFGGAVCBQWIV0?xml=/opinion/2007/06/04/dl0401.xml) [media](http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/story/0,,2110253,00.html) is sceptical, but the Murdoch-run media is mostly complicit, which is hardly surprising given the historic relationship. We should not let these "tardorrists" change our way of life, yet that is exactly what our spineless politicians seem to be doing.

Comments are moderated (damn spammers) but almost anything sensible gets approved (albeit eventually). If you give a web address, I'll link it. I won't publish your email address unless you ask me to, but I'll email you a link when the comment is posted, or the reason why it's not posted. This is copyright 2007 MJ Ray.
