INDEX to "Oneword Radio listeners finally know what's going on, but remain in a cloud of mystery..."

The post immediately below is important but lengthy, therefore here's an index to see what follows:

1. Current events - the loss of Oneword as we knew it

2. A little history on Oneword's ownership and strategy

6. What Oneword delivered that we have now lost

7. Can anything be done from the listeners' point of view?
