Pete: I will be saddened if BB retires from his radio show. Similar to other posters, I have found his show less valuable in the past year or so, but nevertheless, the cumulative effect of his show has been very positive for me.

Naturally, I have no proof for this next statement, but I disagree with the opinion that Brinker would quit his show because "bottomfeeders" are profiting from repackaging his content. I mean, really, how much could they be cutting into his newsletter business? Perhaps a couple of hundred potential subscribers? That seems more like a gnat circling around an elephant's butt to me--an annoying thing for sure, but no reason to quit.

Instead, perhaps Brinker is just tired of the rigors of 6 hours a week on the radio? Perhaps he just doesn't find it enjoyable anymore? Perhaps he has reached critical mass and wants to pursue other interests? There could be dozens of possible reasons, but I don't think "competition" from some rouge selling a few radio show summaries is a reason.

Didn't we go through all this speculation 2 years ago?

Regards,

Bill
