I like the healthy aspects of this debate about the early days of Fonar. Few people could have recalled the momentous occasion of Fonar's inital unveiling and so SpinShooter's recounting is quite informative and interesting. Not to say that (s)he isn't biased. We all are, including you and me. So was Pliny, but what are you going to do? Delete history? I liked your post except the accusation of LYING. Even if something somebody says is incorrect, doesn't mean it was told with the purpose of misleading. I do agree with you that referring to "half" the settlement rebuked by the judge as "most" is misleading and that failure to point out that this was later overturned is misleading. Maybe SpinShooter has a bias. So do you. That's ok. At a certain point, one must wonder why all these people from diverse backgrounds have some misgivings about Fonar/Dr.D. It is far too one-sided, paranoid and conspiratorial to suggest this is all evil-empire stuff, IMO. As I said, I came to my early more negative views of fonar due to huge marketing flops of Fonar and (perhaps) wrongly assigned these to Dr D. That was at a time when I had little respect for GE too. The newer activities of the company are what is of interest here. A valid point for Fonar from SS's view is that they need to wrestle with the notion of whether they want to be known as the NEW IMPROVED FONAR, or the same old fonar with new tricks. I think the collective wisdom would be to go with the former choice. Thanks for taking the time to outline your dissention with SS.
