Paul, I'm not sure that I could do a complete boycott because I don't get CNNfn or Fox. But if other viewers have cut back as much as I have, it should be reflected in their ratings. Greta

Paul, It's probably a good thing you are gone tomorrow because I just looked at the CNBC webpage and reviewed their press releases. One press release is headlined that CNBC's ratings soared in February. Unfortunately, I was unable to read the actual press release (I got the message "outdated, inaccurate or the server has been instructed not to let you receive it," etc.). It could be that only the evening numbers were up (that's what was in the detail of another one of their press releases) but I doubt it. And just for the record, I tried to access a few of their other press releases and I got them. I wonder why this one wasn't transmitted. Could it be they won't let me receive it because of all of the negative E-mails I've sent them regarding the bug, the green slime and the blue whirling stuff? Maybe they're just mad at me! (Just kidding-I'm not that paranoid) Greta
