Kirk and Benjamin...this site is a PD support group...we hear, feel and
share in each others pain and happiness whether it's through jokes or
poems or information on what's working with PD, medications, doctors, latest
information out or what's not working or whatever...we need each other to fight
PD and that's what a support group does...members support other members...
If we all put "non PD" in the subject header then whoever wants to can delete or
read as he/she wishes.
Bern...Keep those poems coming...they are beautiful and make my day...Joan

AMEN to your comments. Why do people put non-PD poems and comments on
this site ? I get about 70 messages each day AND IMMEDIATELY DELETE
ABOUT
65 OF THEM AS BEING NON PD IMPORTANT OR EVEN RELATED TO PD. SO THESE
MESAGES AE NOT EVEN READ!!!

The Charter, with the guidelines contained in it, seemed to
be quite effective ... for a while.
For a while, traffic was manageable and most messages met
the relevance appropriateness criteria set out in the
guidelines. In fact, it is probably true that
traffic was manageable (and generally
interesting and
helpful) _because_ contributors were respecting the
guidelines.
But I seem to detect a drift. I've noted an increase in the
flow of messages, by various contributors, that in my
[humble?] opinion do not meet the stated criteria. Such
messages clutter the list and are a mark of disrespect to
the list-owner who presented us with very appropriate
guidelines.
If someone does not agree with some aspect of the
guidelines, they can write to Barbara Patterson or to the
list. That's OK. But it is not OK to simply ignore the
guidelines.
