Ivan,
 I love your idea. And it reminds me of an idea you proposed some time ago -
that this disease should have a new name - DOPAMINE DEFICIENCY DISORDER - I
think it was your idea. ANyway this seems to be a good time to introduce it -
it kinda goes with the Dollars for Dopamine, dont you think?


Might this not also bethe time to start using the name you prooposed
