Unlike you're mainframe programmer who knew there would be a problem in at most 50 years, our problem might arise in 2319, assuming the current rate of hosts coming to the network, and ignoring the fact that there are only about 80 hosts active in any given year, and assuming all our hosts live to be to a grand old age of 370 or so, and that they are all available to be in this show. Even then it would still take over 5 hours to introduce them and we would probably just put them under Various Hosts at that point, like we do for the New Year Show. Which incedently has under 100 listeners, let alone contributing hosts.

So why is it a bad idea to use a comma separated list in the case of HPR ?

Remember I intend to get at least one more show out of you or Dave on this topic.
