hi all and particularly hi to charlie i hope you weren't offended by my posting of your "note to spiro" i have always thought that it is one of the funniest messages ever posted here and in fact have tried to find it again several times in the archives but i couldn't remember who wrote it i have re-posted other archive items that i have enjoyed like george lussier's gems i personally feel no need for privacy-secrecy all of my messages are sent out with a view to sharing it would never occur to me that re-posting a list-member's previous postings to the same list could be considered a breach of 'netiquette' particularly when our archives are searchable by the general public in two locations on the wwweb and also by e-mail. my intention in posting your gem was simply to share something from someone who is still with us as opposed to 'mourning those who have gone' and hopefully give us all a well-needed smile janet janet paterson, an akinetic rigid subtype parkie 53 now /44 dx cd / 43 onset cd /41 dx pd / 37 onset pd TEL: 613 256 8340 SMAIL: POBox 171 Almonte Ontario K0A 1A0 Canada EMAIL: [log in to unmask] URL: http://www.geocities.com/janet313/
