Hi, I have seen this list be so awe inspiring and now it seems to have become something else. I am not too aware of the issues involved outside of the information that some have posted and their opinions about it too. If it isnt condoned or frowned upon to take a personal issue with a post, then what is allowed? Isnt this about trying to have several functions? One being to inform one another about treatments and meds, and another to find information that we may accept and or disagree with? I have posted a couple of ideas and answered some postings that I agreed with and some that I modified in my answer.. Was I wrong in doing this and making my own personal statement? I would appreciate anyone explaining the difference if any. I do know that all of us have differing opinions concerning politicians and their vote tallies. I do not normally talk about politics unless the ground rules are firmly understood.. I dont expect my closest friend or my family to agree with me..Again tolerance and agreement to disagree are the rules of the day, and maybe this is time to try to remember this. I do think that many of you have shown me considerable examples of both of these..especially tolerance of my own short comings and the kindness to help me understand more about pd. * Seattle* Audrey friend of aussie John pwp 48/40/38 ?? ----- Original Message ----- From: Greg Sterling <[log in to unmask]> To: <[log in to unmask]> Sent: Friday, February 18, 2000 11:33 AM Subject: NON_PD: Reply to - C'mon / and do the locomotion with me... > Janet, > > Have you always done exactly what your mother told you?
