Thank you John! for letting us know about this big improvement. it is much easier to search the list archives now. Thanks also to you, and to Barbara, Simon and Margaret for all your work and dedication that has kept this Internet support group going since 1993. You have made a difference in so many of our lives.

At that time UTORONTO did not choose to upgrade the Listserv software to include a web interface because of budget constraint and the expense of new servers. We fitfully archived the archives at PIENO and made them searchable several years ago. Simon Coles and I achieved the task slightly differently and with Barbara Patterson created the PIENO home for the archives. Simon changed employers which necessitated moving his website. An angel appeared out of our midst. Margaret Tuchman was a driving force in the creation of PIENO. Many of you may not know her but she is the founder the annual Parkinson's Walks, DBS-STN.org and the Parkinson Alliance which has raised millions for Parkinson's research. Well so much for history but I will attempt to explain the new links contained in each message Header.

Some functions require you to login. As a tutorial, Click the link above for List-Archive: At the top right of that page is the word Login. Click that. Logging in requires an email address and if you haven't selected a password look for the words "Get a new Listserv Password" and click on it. Enter your email address and enter a password of your choosing twice. Once you click on register password, you can log in. Don't be timid, explore. One other thing, the Xs in the example are the way PIENO and the Listserv block out your domain name like aol.com to protect your privacy. Use common sense in your postings and refrain from including specific information like your street address or phone numbers, etc. The internet is not private nor is Parkinsn.
