Modest about my proposals

A thread on the GSN Internet board has a few posters seriously suggesting that GSN execs should base programming decisions on the board's whims. I take modest exception...

Other poster: GSN should take people's comments into consideration though, as well as other networks.

I'm sorry, but let's live on planet Earth. The numbers from the Nielsen Company (and GSN's accountants) are what influence GSN execs. Otherwise, they won't be GSN execs for long. They probably shouldn't even read this board, much less listen to its suggestions.

Hey, I like posting around here. It's fun to argue back and forth. But I'm not loony enough to think [GSN president] David Goldhill is taking any of my comments seriously. I'd be surprised if he even reads them at all.

I can see Goldhill meeting with [programming VP] Amy Davis and the rest of the senior people. "Well, Casey Abell says we should do this..." And at that point the laughter reaches gale force.
