[Imc-radio] Fwd: Re: Today's show

Mon Jan 12 23:29:40 CST 2004

Clint,

Please post this to the listserve:

I attended the radio group meeting and met Anna.  At that time, the scope of 
IMC radio was explained to her, and the fact that it might not be the best 
vehicle to tell her husband's story, or to recite her translations of 
Russian poetry.  Clint is an unpaid IMC volunteer, and I think the fact that 
he agreed to work with Anna and her husband and collect audio,  was generous 
of him given that he is preparing to leave town.  Clint gave an honest 
appraisal of the audio he collected and his email invited others to listen 
and work with it if they are interested.  Anna's email to Clint acts as 
though Clint has broken a promise, when in fact one never knows the 
suitability of an audio interview for radio until after it has been 
obtained.   I am sorry for her and her husband's situation, but find her 
"flaming" response to Clint to be harassing and inappropriate.

Ondine
