Just wrote the reporter to thank him and tell him 160,000 deaths, this is news worthy every month, not just Novemeber.

Mike Taibbi wrote me back.

He went for his spiral CT and will be doing stories tonight and tomorrow on nightly news with Brian Williams.

Okay........I am bummed. I cannot send email by clicking on his name, BUT I did send a regular email to that address. Seems it most likely was NOT working since I sent WAY long time ago and haven't heard anything. But glad all of you guys got through!

[Kasey]

Thanks Nick and Kathy. That is exactly what I did, Kathy. Seems I don't have the proper software to send it. However I did have his correct address and just sent one of my own emails. So, not sure about it all. Guess I have antiquated software since it seems all of you had no problem.
