[cma-l] C R Licensing - the Methodology

Thu Jun 1 15:38:56 BST 2017

Quite frankly if you don't have anything good to say don't say it. If you
don't advocate it why write it? As these sort of questions just lead to an
undermining in the ranks by others who read such things.

We are here to build such good things as community radio together not
knocking each other by saying my way is better! It may be for you but not
for us.

So quite honestly stop creating topics you quite honestly know your own
answers too.
