That's what they say.

On the other hand, myself, and at least one other fellow in the forums 
have noted, on a near daily basis, that "FM capture affect", isn't much 
of a thing, if at all.  I regularly hear more than one FM transmitter at 
a time, whether it's two-way radio comms, or broadcast.

Perhaps there was once some crappy transmitters/receivers and the issue 
is now applied to everything, everywhere?

On the other hand, whether AM, or FM, the strongest station is heard, in 
which case AM also appears to "capture".  As for heterodyne, and 
garbling, when two people talk?  It's equal, AM, or FM, it either works, 
or doesn't.

Where I am, everything is "fringe".  That would not suggest a capture 
affect, but someone listening to a radio, hearing a louder station 
better, because it's closer.  Modulation scheme wouldn't change that.

So, since as recently as this afternoon, FM captures nothing, what's the 
real story, how did it happen, and why does it persist?

As for AI...

I searched google for "Science White paint" last night.  AI proceeded to 
tell me about the "science of whiteness", get into some real psychotic 
racist horsesh*t, tell me all about what a terrible thing I'm asking, 
and what and how I should really think, ways of interacting with 
different peoples (my gal is white, red, and black, I think I can handle 
it!), and tied the "paint" aspect to the deranged BS by adding comments 
about graffiti, and vandalism.

For f--k sake, I asked about paint used on antennas.

AI needs to be "suicided", killed outright, done. Gone forever.  It 
failed.  The clue is in the A, artificial, meaning NOT real, so, I 
guess, ignore it entirely.  Easy to do, when it's by far the most stupid 
thing to exist, and considering humanity, that's quite a feat.  It's the 
whackjobs that THINK it's real, and relevant, that need to be closely 
watched.
