That's the best and most concise (not to mention polite) reply I've ever seen. Nice one :-)

But yes, perhaps the OP has never used a newsreader, so probably sees the issue as a minor iritation rather than seeing that it genuinely does make it very hard to keep up with what's going on and, therefore, offer any help.
