I suppose that you are right since the quote from Randi.org says that
Tice Clock was not mentioned when Randi contacted you:

"Please refer to www.randi.org/jr/073004an.html#3 and go to the item
"THE JREF MILLION IS SURELY WON" to learn of the items — the "Shakti
Stones" and P.W.B. Electronics' "Electret Foil" and "Red X Pen" — that
I am referring to here."

So, we can probably assume that Randi has contacted your magazine about
these other products including Shakti Stones?

Maybe the messages were lost. In any event, now's your chance to get
in touch with Randi, and arrange to collect your million bucks.

James Randi hasn't contacted me, or anyone else at Stereophile about these
so-called "tweaks," which is confirmed when you look at the published list
of writers Randi _has_ contacted. Yes, Wes Phillips who occasionally
contributes to Stereophile is on Randi's list, but Wes hasn't actually
written about any of these tweaks" for Stereophile.
