Hello Walmart Shoppers, this is the Maintenance Man. Every three months, the address of the PIENO maillist Page changes. If you read the Parkinsn email on PIENO, use this address which never changes but directs you to the correct page: http:www.parkinsons-information-exchange-network-online.com/maillist.html Save the shortcut on your desktop if you are a frequent reader. Parkinsn list messages are delivered to your email inbox and to PIENO shortly before or after midnight EST in the U.S. Any of your postings for the day are distributed then. Others posted later are delivered the next night. If you are a nightowl and are awake when the mail is delivered you can quickly respond to something of interest and reply. If the reply is received by the listserv by 5 am it is delivered immediately and not held for the next evenings delivery. If you want to edit your email settings the URL of the page above will write the proper code for the listserv in your default email program and all you have to do is send it. Want to know when your postings are distributed? Ack is the command. Look for the button that contains the word acknowledge. Thats it click that button and send the generated email and that is all there is to it. In the spirit of the Paperwork Reduction Act :) if you are still are working and would like to read the last messages, simply log on to the above URL. Display of the the messages is the messages sent last are at the top of the list. There is a Threads link which sorts the messages according to subject and any replies (threads) are below it. PRIVACY The PIENO website does not collect any personal data but in the course of measuring content relevance by traffic some statistical information is temporarily cached for analysis. Parkinsn is a public subscription forum. Messages posted on the PEINO website have the ISP removed from the email addresses before automation adds them to the archive. Guard your privacy. Do not include your address, phone number, social security number or your last name to postings. We are all big people here and you have to exercise what kind of privacy you desire. Let me warn you....what you think is harmless today, may not appear so in the future. The Parkinsn Charter/Guidelines makes it clear. What you post to Parkinsn is public knowledge and may be around for a long time. Barbara and I want you to have a long and safe life but do not accept responsibility to clean up messes. Want to change how you receive Parkinsn email? Use the mail management buttons on the PIENO maillist page. The buttons are self explanatory when you mouse over them. They produce the text in your email program and all you have to do is send them. Don't be timid any screw up can be fixed. You are not going to damage your computer or the listserv. PIENO maillist URL is: http://www.parkinsons-information-exchange-network-online.com/maillist.html Who pays for all this? Well our Canadian and tax payers in Canada provide the listserv and the space for maintaining the archives. Barbara Patterson and I receive no compensation from parkinsn, nor any Parkinson's Organization. PIENO was founded on the web to be a place in the interim when the University of Toronto did not choose to upgrade the listserv to a new version which required a new server. PIENO has always been a 'Labor of Love' from my viewpoint but without Angels at HE net and the Parkinson Alliance, PIENO would have died a silent death several years back. HE net the hosting company provides us server space and bandwidth to carry out our worldwide mission. Things break, wear out, etc. The ads you see on PIENO fund the continuing need for different content and programming. PIENO archive et.al. is over 130,000 webpages and the editing of the code is a monumental task. Contributors you regularly follow on PIENO are just that as described. They give up their time, effort and resources to provide you with something to read and give your hope. We owe them all a debt of graditude. Censorship?????Hell NO! Some might think their email was rejected because their content didn't agree with Barbara's or my viewpoints. Each has opinions and the free flow of ideas is the goal here. If you have had a posting returned, it was the listserv software rejecting it or the mystery of the internet that ate your message. If you have something rejected, send me a copy and I will track down the cause. Less than 5% of our subscribers participate so your posting is important to all of us. Happy New Year Everybody!
