Dear Barbara, I believe the list guidelines are reasonable, well-stated and needed. You , John, Camilla and whoever else worked on them deserve our thanks for taking on this task, and for taking positive action to keep the list viable. Most of all Barb, thank you for creating the Parkinsn list and for nurturing it over the years. Do you realize how many lives you have touched through this list? How many newly diagnosed people have been helped at one of the lowest points of their lives? How many of us are able to cope from day to day with this beast of a disease because the Parkinsn list exists? Of the far reaching effects of the PIEN in increasing PD awareness all over the world? Of empowering us with information? What the list means to those who have so many thoughts and emotions to express, and perhaps no one else who will listen or who will truly understand what they are saying? Thank you again Barbara. Thank you also Simon Coles for maintaining the list Archives and John Cottingham for PIENO. Best wishes to all list members for a happy and peaceful New Year, Linda
