Direct access to the parkinsn archives ceased to exist on the 27th of March.
Weekly logs are still maintained by the listserv, but are inert files.
Copies of these files reside on my machine. I have written a program that
will interogate the log files and return either indexes or the actual
messages that contain certain words, strings of words, or relationships. The
Current Topics message is a historic list of some of those interesting
messages and studies that answer frequently asked questions found on the
parkinsn list from time to time.
Other types of searches are possible also.
If you have lost or misplaced your Current Topics message, address a message to:
[log in to unmask]
On the Subject line put:
Send Parkinsn List Current Topics Information
In a short while, the Current Topics message will be in your mailbox.
John Cottingham To search the Parkinsn archive, send search requests
to [log in to unmask] with Archive Search as the subject.
LibraryH Searches of the Subject: line, From: line and Body are
possible. Look for "Revised Current Topics...." message
