Diane and I plan to attend, although we'll have to be successful at going stand-by on earlier flights.

Congratulation to Rich for putting together what promises to be a wonderful program... complete with webcast!!! Even if you can't make it to the seminar, hopefully you can view it - even live!

There is an amazing amount of work involved in putting on such a conference, so thanks to Rich for putting this together.

PS... Rich is founder of ADR Support and was a speaker at GPN's International Spine Patient Symposium in 2005.

PPS... GPN, iSpine, Mark Mintzer are not involved in the presentation of this event.

In a very surprising and unfortunate turn of events, Diane and I were not allowed to attend this event.

While this may be of interest to some in the patient community, I believe that this is big waste of energy and detracts from the purpose of the forums. However, I believe in transparency. I also believe that the reason for these forums exist is to help patients make informed decisions. Those who have benefited from my writings on the internet since 2000 deserve the opportunity to be informed about the things that have transpired. I have moved this thread from the main iSpine forum to a private forum. Those who are interested in this silliness should request the password via the iSpine contact form on the contact page. Make sure you provide a valid return address so I can email it to you.

Again... I want transparency.... it's working to have this in a private thread.... everyone who wants to see it can, but it's not taking over the forum.
