07/28/2008 - Clear Channel has denied my request to provide a link to a web page that would be of great benefit to the adhd community. I agree ... it doesn't make sense at all ... for a multitude of obvious reasons.
The dilemma: I think adders would greatly benefit from reading this story, so without linking, I could simply share with you where to go ... however ... I greatly disagree with their arbitrary rules and complete lack of understanding of the most basic principle of the internet (hyperlinks), that I hesitate to send anyone their way.
I'm a big free market advocate, so at this point I have to cast my vote by not sending any viewers their way. Sorry to all of you who would have benefited from it. Please write to Clear Channel and express your disappointment.
I'd provide you their email, but I can't afford the potential lawsuit.
According to Webopedia, "hyperlinks are the most essential ingredient of all hypertext systems, including the World Wide Web". It's obvious that Clear Channel disagrees. Until they relinquish this archaic mindset, I'm going to avoid all things Clear Channel like the plague!

Original post 07/27/08 - Well ... I'll have to come back to you concerning this post. Apparently Clear Channel is uncomfortable with the common practice of hyperlinking to their websites.
Two terrific, very successful people with adhd talk about it together. Bringing awareness of adhd is one of my primary missions with this blog. Respecting Clear Channel's wishes, I will send an email asking for permission to post the interview and provide a link. Hopefully they will see the benefit of my drawing positive attention to them, and how much good they can bring to the adhd community by allowing me to bring it directly to the adhd community.
I'm grateful to Clear Channel for posting it on one of their websites, and I ask kindly that I can bring awareness of the article here.
Success stories can do wonders!
