hi bill

i am glad to receive your clarification
apologies are not needed

as i have said many times
i am delighted that anyone feels
that my words or my work could be helpful in any way

in re 'conditions', in this situation,
i don't care much about my own name being attached
simply refer to whatever materials of mine that you use as:
"as posted on the Parkinsn Information Exchange Network"

since i started this little thread on the list
i am sharing this with listmembers as well

thank you so much for your understanding
and all your hard work
