Dear M.,

First things first.  Do you know how to 'click and drag'?

Sounds like something a cross-dressing doo-wop group would do.

Second, if you read a post from the listserv, and would prefer to
reply to just the sender, for example, you just delete the "To:" box,
where it says "Parkinson's Information...", and replace it with just
the senders own email address.  So if you open this message, try doing
that.  Put [log in to unmask] in the "To:" window.  You may even
be able to click on my address as it is here.  Sometimes an email
program is set up to automatically open a new email with my address
already inserted when you click on my address as it appears in this
paragraph.

Rick
