Angie's List Magazine

Dear Angie,

I really enjoyed your May column, as well as the decision you have oh-so-wisely made to list medical providers. The major problem is the lack of communication between physician and patient. The two-minute max face-to-face meeting has to become a thing of the past. Angie’s List scores again! — Peggi Short, Miami

Dear Angie,

I just received my May issue of the Angie’s List Magazine and to say I’m disappointed would be a major understatement. I’m a retired physician who believes this: Patients are NOT stupid but have no idea whatsoever as to whether or not their physician is providing quality care. What you will get with your rating system is merely a popularity index, not an indicator of quality of care. — Alan L. Lasnover, M.D., San Diego

Dear Angie,

Your April magazine looks great! There’s a lot of terrific info on green building for your members — I’m happy to see the word being spread. —Kevin Dreyfuss-Wells, City Architecture, Shaker Heights, Ohio

Dear Angie,

I came across your online magazine, and I loved it. I have just one correction. In the article “Clean energy gains power,” the link to the national database for energy efficiency and solar incentives is DSIREUSA.org. The article links to dsireusE.org. — Liz Merry, Verve Solar Consulting, Davis, Calif.

Dear Angie,

Thank you for taking up the cause against private-to-private eminent domain [in your March magazine]. I’m lucky to live in a state where the people passed an initiative, thanks to the Institute for Justice’s campaign, outlawing private-to-private eminent domain. It levels the playing field and puts the big developers back where they belong — approaching individual property owners directly and respecting their rights. For many people, staying in their homes and running their businesses where they always have is more important than money. — Nadina Cole-Potter, Scottsdale, Ariz.

Dear Angie,

Your article about eminent domain is incredibly one-sided. You freely quote a biased organization, the Institute for Justice, and you provide no counter arguments. You seem to have, at most, a passing understanding of eminent domain and how organizations have used its reform to try to pass extremist property rights measures. — Peter Bray, Portland, Ore.
