That's great! And I just noted it on the blog as well.
Now I just got this from the auto-responder at NPR:

Thank you for writing.
Due to the overwhelming amount of mail we receive, we cannot personally
respond to each email, but we DO read each message.
However, we hope that you'll find the answer to your question below. Included are: searching for a story, ordering a tape or transcript, contacting your favorite program, information about an e-mail petition about NPR funding going around the Internet.(it's not true), or find your local station.
[lots of contact poop follows]
=================================
Well, about what I expected. That's okay. Their customers are the affiliate stations who buy their programs, and we are those stations' customers -- a real market relationship we don't have with commercial broadcasters.
So I'm not surprised that you got a real response from KUT (a great station, I agree... having listened to it once all afternoon, thanks to freak atmospherics, at the beach in North Carolina), while I got the e-boot from NPR's webmaster.
