He used "Eduardo" to get a job with the now private, in-retreat
Univision, since he is only a high-scool dropout with a lousy podunk
GED.

Actually, I was employed by Hispanic Broadcasting Corp. and prior to that,
by Heftel Broadcasting which merged to form HBC. HBC was bought by
Univision, and I had been with the company for about 10 years then.

And, of course, you always neglect to mention that I dropped out of school
because I was bored to death, and built my own radio station, the first Top
40 station in South America. Idiots don't build #1 radio stations.

It is also going to make it harder for Univision to fire/layoff
him.

Why? 75% of our workforce is Hispanic. One more or one less is hardly
significant, and certainly not anything that makes me a member of a
protected class. In fact, the protected class I belong to is "making #1
radio stations" as I have always done; I hold a record in the US for having
programmed the FM station, in a top 50 market, with the longest run of
consecutive #1 ratings periods... 22 years.

Because of this, he feels very insecure, hense the need to
continually joist with us educated folk. Hell, my company wouldn't
even consider him, as they require at least a high school diploma and
US citizenship.

Fortunately, in my field we are talent driven and one's achievements, not
their education, are the most important factors. By the way, during the
several years I went to ASU, I got over 100 credits and a GPU of 4 and was
on the Deans List consistently.... not having a US High School Diploma
apparently did not matter much, did it?

Well Michael you picked an odd time to bring this up seeing as it has
died down. Maybe you are just bored? Troll someplace else.

I am just getting very disillusioned with the state of some Usenet
N.G.s that used to be informative and technically useful and have
become the arenas for bad behavior.

Suggestions to "ignore posts or threads" from certain originators
doesn't improve the S/N ratio, or make navigating any easier. The
ongoing noise level also dissuades new participants and repels
veterans.

There has been some recent discussion about reforming the charter
or at least the FAQ for this N.G.; I would like to see a clear
code of conduct as an amendment.

Look to comp.arch.embedded for a well behaved unmoderated N.G. with
truly outstanding participants and a lot of useful content.

MSG - Hence my use of [ d'Eduardo ] ~ RHF

* The small [ d ] for who He was 'David'

* The [ ' ] Apostrophe Mark for "Of"
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apostro...-English_names

* The Name [Eduardo] {Personna} that He wishes
to be Called and Identified by/with related to the
Hispanic Acculturation that He can rightfully Claim.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acculturation

What's in a Name or for that matter a Set of Initials
like "RHF" with transmorphs into : King+Called+Fish
-aka- The KingFish } an old Chinese Engineer told
me that one many years ago.

IMHO - The Issue of His Name is a weak argumentative ploy
used by those who can not Debate with him on the Merrits
of His Numbers; or the Corporate Media perspective that he
represents. Being here for 'dEduardo is most likely a free form
open discussion which allows him to 'practice-his-craft'; and
discover a diverse set of points-of-view that he would not be
exposed to in the majority of professional 'business' settings
composed of many individuals like himself who are steeped
in the Radio Broadcasting Business.

I don't know what it will take to clean this news group up. Some people
that use the news group invite this kind of crap. This news group has
seen better days.

It came from the years my mother spent in Europe in the early 20's.

Oh crap. Let's again go over your whole life story again. Nobody cares.

Indeed; thanks for your thoughts. Considering his biography,

That's an insightful and quite correct assesment.
