Rob, the self-medicated, is he a brainnless maverick or PD masochist or some other maniacal escapee? MAverick, no doubt, escapee from drugs yes.. PD no. Brainless, hardly... Better known by the list as rschaafangus he is a well-educcated researcher in hid own rigiht. Rob allow me to express myself sir. Not that i am capable of doing you justice. I aplaud the insighits i ahve gained from your many postinngs regadring alternatives and their role in our health care. I notived in your posting referred to here that you did thte due diligence and researched the resources that were appropriate so your personal choice was an informed one. By the way ,, if you choose to administer self-surgery coulld you set up your cam for taping. As a mindless follower of all that i hear i might be inclined to follow your lead blinfly. I would llike to see where to place the mirrors to enable me to see where to make the first cranial cut. ----- Original Message ----- From: "janet paterson" <[log in to unmask]> To: <[log in to unmask]> Sent: Sunday, April 28, 2002 7:06 AM Subject: Re: "the fuzzies" > hi all > > on Sat, 27 Apr 2002 13:24:04 -0600 someone wrote: > >Selegiline is one of the easier drugs to whine down > >from.
