I enjoy the gymnastics as much as the next person but not to the exclusion of other deserving events. I'm trying to follow the men's and women's volleyball competition and am continually enraged by ABC's shoddy coverage. It has almost become a nightly ritual to call L.A. and flame at ABC's programming department (213-557-4103). Their last response was that they only wanted to cover the "butch" (sic) events. I'm certain volleyball is not alone in suffering bad coverage or lack of coverage. Larry Johnson AT&T Technologies "Do not attempt to adjust the picture. We are controlling transmission."
