Hello Walmart Shoppers, this is the Maintenance Man. Every three 
months, the address of the PIENO maillist Page changes. If you read 
the Parkinsn email on PIENO, use this address which never changes but 
directs you to the correct page:

http:www.parkinsons-information-exchange-network-online.com/maillist.html

Save the shortcut on your desktop if you are a frequent reader.

Parkinsn list messages are delivered to your email inbox and to PIENO 
shortly before or after midnight EST in the U.S. Any of your postings 
for the day are distributed then. Others posted later are delivered 
the next night. If you are a nightowl and are awake when the mail is 
delivered you can quickly respond to something of interest and reply. 
If the reply is received by the listserv by 5 am it is delivered 
immediately and not held for the next evenings delivery.

If you want to edit your email settings the URL of the page above 
will write the proper code for the listserv in your default email 
program and all you have to do is send it.

Want to know when your postings are distributed? Ack is the command. 
Look for the button that contains the word acknowledge. Thats it 
click that button and send the generated email and that is all there is to it.

In the spirit of the Paperwork Reduction Act :) if you are still are 
working and would like to read the last messages, simply log on to 
the above URL. Display of the the messages is the messages sent last 
are at the top of the list. There is a Threads link which sorts the 
messages according to subject and any replies (threads) are below it.

PRIVACY

The PIENO website does not collect any personal data but in the 
course of measuring content relevance by traffic some statistical 
information is temporarily cached for analysis.

Parkinsn is a public subscription forum. Messages posted on the PEINO 
website have the ISP removed from the email addresses before 
automation adds them to the archive. Guard your privacy. Do not 
include your address, phone number, social security number or your 
last name to postings. We are all big people here and you have to 
exercise what kind of privacy you desire. Let me warn you....what you 
think is harmless today, may not appear so in the future. The 
Parkinsn Charter/Guidelines makes it clear. What you post to Parkinsn 
is public knowledge and may be around for a long time. Barbara and I 
want you to have a long and safe life but do not accept 
responsibility to clean up messes.

Want to change how you receive Parkinsn email? Use the mail 
management buttons on the PIENO maillist page. The buttons are self 
explanatory when you mouse over them. They produce the text in your 
email program and all you have to do is send them. Don't be timid any 
screw up can be fixed. You are not going to damage your computer or 
the listserv.

PIENO maillist URL is:

http://www.parkinsons-information-exchange-network-online.com/maillist.html

Who pays for all this?

Well our Canadian and tax payers in Canada provide the listserv and 
the space for maintaining the archives. Barbara Patterson and I 
receive no compensation from parkinsn, nor any Parkinson's 
Organization. PIENO was founded on the web to be a place in the 
interim when the University of Toronto did not choose to upgrade the 
listserv to a new version which required a new server.

PIENO has always been a 'Labor of Love' from my viewpoint but without 
Angels at HE net and the Parkinson Alliance, PIENO would have died a 
silent death several years back. HE net the hosting company provides 
us server space and bandwidth to carry out our worldwide mission.

Things break, wear out, etc. The ads you see on PIENO fund the 
continuing need for different content and programming. PIENO archive 
et.al. is over 130,000 webpages and the editing of the code is a 
monumental task.

Contributors you regularly follow on PIENO are just that as 
described. They give up their time, effort and resources to provide 
you with something to read and give your hope. We owe them all a debt 
of graditude.

Censorship?????Hell NO!

Some might think their email was rejected because their content 
didn't agree with Barbara's or my viewpoints. Each has opinions and 
the free flow of ideas is the goal here. If you have had a posting 
returned, it was the listserv software rejecting it or the mystery of 
the internet that ate your message. If you have something rejected, 
send me a copy and I will track down the cause. Less than 5% of our 
subscribers participate so your posting is important to all of us.

Happy New Year Everybody!
