Nigel,
"To those parasites, (and you know who you are),
why don't you all disappear up your own backsides, (the best place for you 
as all you talk is a load of ****), and let the list return to how it used  
to be, informative and friendly."
   May I suggest that you take the time to learn some manners?  None of the people who you refer to as "parasites" have resorted to being as blatantly rude as you just were.  By the way, these "parasites" post a great deal of PD information, as well as caring for and supporting many of the list members.  While Janet does post a great deal of good information, most of the people I have seen sign off or come close to signing off have done so as a direct result of Janet's rants and attacks.  While she may have designated herself as the list elf, that does not give her the right to do and say whatever she pleases, especially when she is hurting people.  THAT is what this whole hoopla has been about.  Now, could everyone PLEASE just let this go?
Pat

When I first joined this list, years ago, the content was mainly PD related,  with the occasional Non pd anecdote and joke thrown in, which was fine. However, in recent months the list has been hi-jacked by List Parasites, those who relish causing arguments, and get a kick out of seeing their names on screen, contributing nothing on PD topics, "scoring points" over "opponents", and who are generally as far as this list is concerned, a waste of space.                 To those parasites, (and you know who you are),why don't you all disappear up your own backsides, (the best place for you as all you talk is a load of ****), and let the list return to how it used to be, informative and friendly.Regards to all you Genuine PWPs and Carers,Nigel 45/33.
