I belong to a few professional lists. Most are apolitical, aemotinal, apersonal - none atechnical. The Parkinson situation involves everything. How does someone navigate this list? I was shown how to set up message filters by another member of the list. All Parkinson's messages go to a PD-folder. The very descriptive subjects and/or the sender's identity determine which I read - if any. If I want to address an individual - I do only that. The message filter helps the most. There are a few listmembers who rip-off many messages per day. There is an old saying that the more someone says, the less they have to say. I am not so sure that is always the case on this list. I have benefited from Ivan's PD-expertise. Thank you, Ivan. I sincerely hope that your excellent poem is not a supernova. nancy wrote: > HOW DO U GET EXEMPT FROM PAYING UR PROPERTY TAXES? > HOW DO U GET UR ELECTRIC BILL PAID FOR? > > I AM BY NO MEANS SAYING U SHOULDN'T OR SHOULD OR WHATEVER.
