[QUOTE=detop] Since they ceased publishing in December, shouldn’t that be the fault of the Solstice ? 😃 [/QUOTE] No, see the Equinox put into motion the chain of events that led to the magazine’s demise.

I remember seeing an interview with a shill for the Psychic Friends Network (Dionne Warwick, I think) after it went bankrupt, and the interviewer asked the obvious question: “Didn’t anyone see this coming?” You would almost think shit like this would make people lose faith in psychics. You know, if people were even minimally responsive to evidence and stuff. ---
