Kelly, the "Non-PD" heading is a good idea, as it lets folks
know your post has nothing to do with PD; although it got
way too complicated for me awhile back. But don't take one
person's opinion about non-PD posts too seriously.
The list is rather divided on this point -- some don't want
any posts other than PD-related matters, others like jokes,
lightness, and supportive posts. It's a good idea not to
flood the list with highly personal posts and "attaboys" and
"I agrees" -- some folks have difficulty with their
keyboards, and it's harder for them to delete. Use good
judgment and you will be rewarded with a lot of support from
grateful listfriends.
Best regards,
Kathrynne
