Directory Project (ODP), healingwell tried several times to get listed in my category, after being reviewed and rejected by yours truly, so i did some further research. the word was in the ODP editors' forums that healingwell was run by a disaffected former ODP editor and offered commi$$ion$ for linking to their site (which offered 'info' on every medical condition that exists and then some!) i have a congenital bias against health-care or -info for profit and if i could not determine a website's financial motive despite reasonable effort i did not include it for more of my adventures with the ODP, check out my journal! i am off to do more digging in Bedford NS! janet cc Robin Elliott, Parkinson's Disease Foundation janet paterson: an akinetic rigid subtype, albeit perky, parky pd: 55/41/37 cd: 55/44/43 tel: 613 256 8340 email: [log in to unmask] smail: 375 Country Street, Almonte, Ontario, Canada, K0A 1A0 a new voice: http://www.geocities.com/janet313/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To sign-off Parkinsn send a message to: mailto:[log in to unmask] In the body of the message put: signoff parkinsn
