Arthur Williams wrote an opinion piece riddled with errors and one that shows his lack of understanding of the subject.

This was Bill Russell's response sent in the form of a Letter to the Editor:
Arthur Williams opinion column in your Feb 23 edition entitled "How Many Halls Do We Need?" is a bewilderingly short sighted, shallow, tired and ridiculous point of view.
How Many News Papers Do We Need, Mr. Williams? After your misinformed forray into this topic I should think one less would be my answer. Opinions are easy to find. Informed ones are apparently a little more difficult, but I would have surely appreciated a more diligent attempt on your part.
If you want to be taken seriously then at least do your homework? How is a performing Arts Centre different from what we have now? You're the reporter, call someone, ask and get a decent answer. Spend a moment to educate yourself and your readers about this topic before you dribble on.
Printing silly, misinformed comments such as yours on a topic which is obviously beyond your depth is really quite a waste. You could have taken this opportunity to learn, grow and improve the quality of our daily lives. Which, by the way, is truly the fundamental reason we must build a performing arts centre.
Mr. Williams, it's not so much your opinion that I abhore. It's your ignorance..
Bill Russell

You know, today has been somewhat of a challenging day for me, until I read the comments to someone's article about how many halls to (sic) we need? Now THAT was hilariously funny and well written, I might add! I doubt the writer of the article will want to make such a public announcement again without doing his research first. Thank you for the giggles.
Damn - this is one of the reasons I miss Bill on the Radio!
Well stated.
