[Premium-Rx] Premium-Rx Digest, Vol 111, Issue 3

[Dan Robinson]

Following up on this -- I see now that there appears to be a newly-designed
website,
saying it is a CLOSED business, appointment only, and gives a phone
number.  This
is different from what the site looked like several months ago, so perhaps
indeed Steve
was able to turn it over to someone.  Still does not explain unanswered
emails and
certainly I would be concerned if my radio was still there and I was
getting no response.
Not sure how long benefit of a doubt extends -- clearly if no one answers,
or returns calls
to the listed number at this site, that would be cause for concern:
