He has apparently been sending this message to the list but it's not going out, and he has asked me to help by forwarding this email to the list. I think perhaps Mr. Block is just having a little trouble with his computer; in any event I am happy to forward this for Mr. Block.<BR>

Subject: Fwd: The Joe Frank/Larry Block Battle<BR>
<BR>
Greetings: A subscriber recently reported that he heard what sounded like an angry confrontation between Joe Frank and Larry Block (a series regular) on a pledge drive call-in segment broadcast from radio station FMU in New Jersey. It seems that the radio-verite style had a little too much verite for some who listened, and perhaps even for the hostess of the segment, who rather abruptly ended the encounter. Ofcourse, the whole verbal altercation - in which Larry Block accused Joe Frank of owing him back pay and of being impossible to reach by any means short of calling in to a pledge drive - was planned and had been recently used as the basis for an improvosation for a pledge drive for KPFA in San Francisco. The FMU hostess apparently thought that Larry Block was a dangerous character and that Joe had to be shielded. This absurd action on her part has contributed to the growing perception that Larry Block has gone over the edge, which I can assure any loyal fans is not the case. I speak with some authority, I think, since I am, in fact, Larry Block. All the best from the edge. Larry <BR>
