The average message length is 44 lines. ARCHIVE SEARCHES Since June 23, I have performed 140 archive searches. CURRENT PARKINSON'S TOPICS MESSAGES Directions on how to receive the "Current Parkinson's Topics Messages" are on various WWW sites throughout the world. Since June 23, I have sent 49 "Current..Topics" messages. ARTICLES AND STUDIES SENT FROM THE ARCHIVE I have sent 400 articles and studies since the 23rd of June. FORECAST Next year at this time we will have surpassed the 2,000 subscriber mark. The daily message average will be close to 50 messages a day. The size of the archives will double. It is my hope that the Parkinsn list will be peered and readable at over 80,000 Usenet sites around the world. Thanks to all of the 'lurkers' and also the diligent folks that participate in ways not always seen. We are indeed a global family.
