Hi, I'm new here and seem to have come in the middle of this. I first started on the Hepatitis C list a week ago. I am really enjoying it. My mother-in-law has PD so I joined this one for her, as well as me. On Sunday the list server was down. I was so depressed as was alot of other people. It's not just a list for information, it about supporting one another. Being able at times to just let it out. I've never laughed as much as this in along time, just being able to relate with other people with the same disease. Some people just don't want to hear about it. One women wrote in that she was panhandling for some mail, "Mister could you spare some mail till my server comes back on." Also in the HepC group when there is pertinent information regarding the disease, or when someone is asking for information, they put "INFO" first in the subject line. Apparently there are some people that that is all they want. You can send a command to receive INFO mail only, that way you don't get any of the other chatter that goes on. There are alot of people on the Hepc list that are on the sidelines, but they do enjoy reading through all the mail. I don't know if you have that on this list already or not, but its an idea.
