Camilla, et al...

I was unaware that the Sparkle list is a sub-list of the original
PD List.  I may have read about it, but if I did, it musta gone in
one ear (or in this case, one EYE) <smile> and out the other.  Mea
culpa...

NOTE:  I don't look at the new list as 'competition" any more than
I've seen the CARE list as competition.   'Kay? Huh?

I'm on the run right now 'cause I have a PD support group to get
start getting ready for which is the reason for my
uncharacteristically brief response back at at ya.

That said - PLEASE don't read anything negative into what I
*DIDN'T* but  was credited to me as saying  as opposed to what I
*DID* say, 'cause I'm  getting flak for  THAT for THAT too!
