Over the years, hundreds and hundreds of people on the Parkinsn list have
been bewildered with all the instructions on how to manage their mail at
the listserv. We represent all levels of computer expertise and skill. In
reality, the longer the time between when we first subscribed and now...we
forget how to do things.
The (P-I-E-N-O) Parkinsn Online website has preconfigured buttons which
will handle, through your email program, your interactions with the
listserv. Once you click a button, your email program will open and the
correct information is already entered. All you do is send it. It is that
easy. You or others can subscribe, leave the list, suspend Parkinsn Mail,
change to digest method of Parkinsn mail delivery, receive copies of your
Parkinsn postings, or receive acknowledgement that your post to Parkinsn
was distributed.
Of course, if you haven't looked at the (P-I-E-N-O) Parkinsn's List Online,
you don't know that the last 500 messages to the list are available for
reading or replying. The Threads page lists the messages grouped by topic,
allowing one to follow a topic easier over about a week. The Index page
lists the messages as they come in, with the newest ones at the top.
The (P-I-E-N-O) site has just under 800 pages with 30,000 words indexed
several times a week so that the search for words will be current most of
the time.
Links at the bottom of the page send you to Simon Cole's archive search
pages, Parkinsn's Current Topics Index, Parkinsn's Archive Treasures or the
world famous Parkinsn's List Drug DataBase.
