Dear PWPs and CGs: It was suggested that the PIEN and CARE lists should resume their focus on PD issues, after the great interest in the tragic events of 9/11 which provoked much onlist discussion. Because several had asked me to continue to send them offlist the alternative types of information which gave viewpoints not seen much in the standard media, I agreed to make up a distribution list for this purpose, and started it on 9/19/01. The "Alternative List" (Alt-list) does not use a listserv, but is handled through me. Members join by requesting to be added to my list, and then may either post directly to the whole group, or ask me to fwd their articles,etc. This is not a "debate", but a place where there can be open discussion of many views on these painful issues , something people say they have not found elsewhere. Most of the members are PWPs and CGs, but it is open to anyone. If you wish to join, please send me an ***OFFLIST *** email telling me so, and you'll be added. If you find it's not "your cup of tea", just say so, and I'll remove you. As of the present writing there are about 50 members. -- Camilla Flintermann <[log in to unmask]> on the web at http://www.geocities.com/camillahf/index.html "A single voice among thousands stands alone, but a thousand voices united as one, stand to make a difference!" ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To sign-off Parkinsn send a message to: mailto:[log in to unmask] In the body of the message put: signoff parkinsn
