Ok, minutia police, I readily admit I'm guilty, but yesterday, I heard the boys say they weren't going to read texts sent in that didn't have a name attached. They had been reading them and saying the area code of the texters that haven't been supplying names. Today, Spiegs caught himself mid-read, "This text from...the western suburbs..." So instead of saying 630, he went western burb-age. What's the difference between saying the area code or the actual area, and who gives a rat's ass if there isn't a name attached? For some fun, why not call the person on the air who sent in the unnamed text to bust their balls for not following instructions by assigning a nom de plume??? Too morning zoo-ish? |

Why do they have texting period? I think email and phone calls are the easiest way to go. |

You would have to be the only person in the world who thinks it's easier to call someone and wait on hold than to send a text. |
