The few people I've met who are "wired" all seem like they are worse off than I am. BUT, every one of them say they are glad they have the DBS. Perhaps I need to look in the mirror sometime :-) BTW I am also disappointed by the tone of the Glutathion discussion. This list has always been a friendly and emotionally safe place. I hope we continue as such. -- Steve in VT ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To sign-off Parkinsn send a message to: mailto:[log in to unmask] In the body of the message put: signoff parkinsn
