Cheers, >Joe hi joe six years of anything on the internet is a grand accomplishment! your summaries of published articles concerning pd are a unique asset in the pd cyber world; it would be a shame to lose continuity now, especially when there is so much happening in terms of new research! the scientific and medical journal fields are going through some growing pains right now due to the growth of the information available on the web; could that be part of the reason for the loss of those 3 journals at kaiser? i wonder if those same journals are now available on the web; possibly part of murray's recent 'dig'? i wonder if full articles or abstracts from the preferred journals were available on the web and maybe e-mailed to you by a world famous 'digger', whether reviewing and summarising the printed 'hard' copies of same would be as satifying to you as going to the kaiser hospital library, without the travel time, of course! i wonder if you and murray thus might be able to split the 'current science review' work between you on the surface, from my viewpoint, it looks like an ideal fit: the journals are moving from 'hard' copy to 'virtual' publishing; murray is the best 'virtual' 'digger' on two feet; and you, joe, are the best summarizer and cross-referencer i know! you are both parky stars in my eyes for your hard work and your generosity in sharing same just a thought... maybe a silly idea... maybe not... janet webspinner to the stars... joe bruman http://www.geocities.com/joebruman/ . murray charters http://www.geocities.com/janet313/pienet/wwweb/ . janet paterson, an akinetic rigid subtype, albeit perky, parky PD: 54/41/37 CD: 54/44/43 TEL: 613 256 8340 EMAIL: [log in to unmask] "a new voice" home page: http://www.geocities.com/janet313/ .
