Administrator Altostrata Posted July 5, 2011 Author Administrator Share Posted July 5, 2011 Sorry, guys -- seems like the sponsor of the radio program was a local medical center, they put pressure on Peter Nielsen, whose show this is (Peter's Principles http://petersprinciples.com/ ), to cancel the show, and Peter blew off phoning me and the other participants, without letting us know. Contact Peter here if you care to comment: http://petersprinciples.com/contact/ This is not medical advice. Discuss any decisions about your medical care with a knowledgeable medical practitioner.

Contact Peter here if you care to comment: http://petersprinciples.com/contact/ Wow... I've never heard of Peter Nielsen so know not of his position or financial dependence or whatever... You'd think he would have, at the least, called in advance to explain the cancelling. That's too bad. Alex.i "Well my ship's been split to splinters and it's sinking fast I'm drowning in the poison, got no future, got no past But my heart is not weary, it's light and it's free I've got nothing but affection for all those who sailed with me. Everybody's moving, if they ain't already there Everybody's got to move somewhere Stick with me baby, stick with me anyhow Things should start to get interesting right about now." - Zimmerman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
