Jo Ann, over the last year there have been listserv instructions regularly posted to Parkinsn. Janet has done that until she was blue in the face. :) Most helpers on Parkinsn over the years have burned out because there is such a lack of responsibility on learning how to handle interactions with the listserv. How are we supposed to help when subscribers ignore the instructional posts? It really isn't the responsibility of the list to publicly waste bandwidth to try to help those who seem to resist to help themselves.
The Parkinsn list is on autopilot. We have 1909 subscribers and each of you are your own pilot.
If you don't have an internet connection and use free email, that's fine. BP configured the listserv to issue multiple digests on busy days to keep from overflowing your mailbox. The listowner has enough activities of being a homemaker, secretary to professors, having Parkinson's and also sorting through all the error messages because someone has misconfigured their mail program so that their mailbox gets full and refuses to accept the Parkinsn messages. Let's be considerate and responsible.
If you are computer challenged, use the mail management buttons on P-I-E-N-O. P-I-E-N-O is Parkinsn, Parkinsn is P-I-E-N-O.
