> Janet, It would seem that you are the one who doesn't seem to understand how email lists are supposed to work. In case you've forgotten, this list is about Parkinson's, not cd or suicide. True, people can use their delete keys if they want to............but why should they have to? I don't write to the list a lot, I mainly observe and learn. I have seen several truly amazing people come close to leaving this list because of you and your poisonous attitude. When my niece was about a year old and getting rather self centered (first born), we'd sing to her.........the world is much bigger than you oh my, the world is much bigger than you. She learned to see beyond the end of her nose and became am incredibly compassionate child. Perhaps we should get her to teach you this same concept?? It would be one thing if only one person on the list was asking you to cease and desist, but when you have several people all of the same opinion and you decide that you know better, then you are being both arrogant and pompous. You used to post so much great information, it really makes me sad that I can't even read the stuff you post any more.
