Although I appreciate the kind remarks about the fact that I started this discussion list, I really must explain how it began. Judy Norris from OISE in Toronto is the listowner of a discussion list..NURSENET. A friend of hers asked her to find out if there was a parkinson's discussion list. When I heard about this, I sent her a message saying I would join one if she let me know when she found it. The series of messages follows: Judy: Why don't you start one, Barb? Me: I wouldn't have a clue what to do. Judy: I'll help. I'll be co-owner until you're comfortable with it. Me: Let me think about it....(followed by many, many questions) Judy: (Encouragement, encouragement) Me: Let's go for it. So, folks, I think we can all thank Judy Norris for this list. Thanks, Judy (and thank you for your quick responses to all my HELP!!! messages.
