To all those concerned re searching the archives:
I agree that searching the archives is a very important feature. One
thing I should try to make clear is that this was not an option we had.
The parkinsn list is housed free of charge at the University of Toronto
and when their system was 'upgraded' so were we. I have emailed the
'author' of listserv explaining to him how important this feature is to us
but have not heard back from him yet.
I am including a message sent to me this morning from Steve, our
listserver guru, in response to our questions about the archives. I
thank you all again for your support and cooperation during the 'move'.

Hi Barb,
I thought I should correct one misunderstanding. The archives or the list
logs are still available. A record of everything that goes on is still
held by LISTSERV. What is missing is the database function. When it will
re-appear I don't know. There is no concrete date available from LSOFT
for when it will return. However, after hearing from LSOFT about this
issue, I suspect you'll see it sooner than later. I know this doesn't
make you feel warm and fuzzy, but you shouldn't just write it off.
Steve
