NPR now as chirpy and commercial as AM stations

Silly me. I suppose I am not accustom to what goes as politeness in the great white north.

Yeah, non-trolling radio can be unexciting. Almost as bad as reading.

I don't listen to NPR because I find it boring, and it puts me to sleep.

I knoooow! Kind of makes your brain hurt... all that thinking you have to do listen.

At this stage of my life I enjoy fast-pace shows. Maybe 20 or 30 years from now I will be listening to NPR while taking Metamucil, prostate medicine, and all of that.

Either that or having continued your education, grown out of ADHD, or otherwise learned how to appreciate more intellectually challenging programing.

Don't you think I responded to you accordingly? I didn't write a single "barb" about your listening to NPR. Every person is different: some may like NPR and so they state their reasons, while others don't listen to NPR and say so (I did). I see no reasons to demean those who don't agree with my views.
