You are forgiven. In fact, I find you to be the amusing one — not me.

If Ofcom says so, I’m sure DAB will be rocketing to new heights soon. Hang in there.

‘Blinkered and lazy’ — Assume you will say that to my face, huh? Cannot wait for that moment. – I do wonder when people say that. It can’t really be read in any other way other than a threat of violence. Is that really what you wanted to say?

Anyway, forgive me: the headline (“Ofcom and Channel 4: DAB is toast”) appears to claim that Ofcom and Channel 4 were both stating that ‘DAB was toast’, i.e. DAB was dead. They haven’t. I now realise, now you’ve pointed it out, that you were making an attempt at humour, rather than deliberately misunderstanding what Channel 4 and Ofcom said in their press release. D’oh! How silly of me! Hah! You’re quite a funny chap really! (giggle)

‘Blinkered and lazy’ — Assume you will say that to my face, huh? Cannot wait for that moment.

As I said on my blog in response to your childish ‘is this the same DAB’ comment: I was commenting on Ofcom’s licencing process, not making a statement about DAB’s commercial prospects. I don’t particularly care about DAB as much as you — that’s clear — you work for a state-owned firm that puts its content on the platform.

So if as you claim the truth matters to you more than assembling your own straw men to knock down, re-read my post for what it was (the five paragraphs where I discuss Ofcom’s licencing process and the one paragraph containing a joke about selling my toaster) and stop putting words in my mouth.

See you on the block…
