Re: Nikken magnets

Walter,

 I didn't list the people who responded to me Gil  listed his responses to
his question which was stated clearly as a question.

.   When I make a lot of statements I do not receive reactions to them while
others I do. It depends on how controversial the subject is and whether it
sparks  an interest in someone else and whether it is read as a question of
a call for help.

You commented on the lack or response to your orgone statement.  I think
that orgone therapy and Wilhelm Reich is an esoteric topic which most of the
list would not know what you are talking about.  Reich certainly obliquely
fits in with a discussion on magnetism but was not as important or urgent as
the use of it as a PD cure.  If you ask questions or ask for comments I
think you will likely get more responses.

AS regards your statement about expanding the response circle, I'm all for
that.

Charlie
