Great to hear from you, Christopher. Actually the site is the brainchild of Les Sweeney (ABMP President) and Lara Bracciate (ABMP online goddess extraordinaire). I was fortunate to be brought into the project by those two. Glad you're enjoying it.

Hi CHris,
Thanks for the connect. A big stimulus proposal goes in on Wednesday, then on to the chapter outline and then the review. All should be done by Friday.

Hi Christopher: In response to your question today, I posted http://www.biomedcentral.com/1741-7015/5/3 re placebo response and would very much appreciate the opportunity to discuss it. My email is: norwick@att.net

Chris,
I believe we have more in common than it might appear. Thank you for the invitation. I have some things I would like to share with you that I do not want on a public form due to political considerations.

Chris--

Re: my comments in the Reiki "discussion"--thank you. I will say that I think you certainly could have been more diplomatic and less inflammatory (ie, when someone asks where a good church is, telling them that there is no such thing as God is certain to be disruptive), but I can't say that I disagree with a lot of what you and Keith have to say. However, still interested in what you've got to say.

Thx,

E.

Yeah, I noticed that the other day. I told him that I didn't think that going through and deleting all of his comments was particularly productive, either, as he'd said some things that I wanted to respond to. Bad form.

Hadn't noticed that the thread itself disappeared entirely. Again, pretty unproductive, IMO. I did see that Brenda put up a blog post chastising those of us who chose to carry on the conversation in a direction other than specifically answering her question, though, and I responded to her there as well.

Frustrating that a good, intellectual conversation can be so threatening as to have people react in such an instinctive manner. *sigh* Ah well. We're all evolving, aren't we?

"He" is Mike, the one you had most of your discussion with. He replied to a couple of things on . . . Saturday, I believe, during the day, but by nightfall had deleted all of his comments in the thread. I still haven't heard back from him.

And as for Brenda going home with her marbles . . . all I can do is sigh.

I love your new picture! Very dashing!

Thanks.

Noooo... Not intended to be spam... his is information I anm asked for all the time, and i have never had anything to give anyone. I would, of course, LIKE you to buy from Massage Warehouse.... but moreover, I think having this data before you buy is far more important. It is shared in the spirit of information only.
=)

I think you are becoming addicted to this site! :) Or is it all in the name of research? :):):):)

Hi Christopher! how are you? hope you are great! :)

Christopher we want you to come to the 2011 World Massage Festival on Research. I hope you will plan on coming.

Thanks Darcy. I'll consider it.

Added you as a friend. I do not see you or any one else here as the enemy. Mike is my personal friend but I do not agree with how he handles himself sometimes.

Good morning Christopher!

Hi Chris, although on occasion we have not seen eye to eye, I just wanted to let you know that overall, researching the research has become a regular feature on my "to do" list.
Here in the UK research relating to massage is not highlighted enough so have begun threads that are getting good veiwing and comments.

I still practice my woo woo when I feel it appropiate :)
