TO: Joyce Tames I'm sure your time is very valuable, and that it's a huge inconvenience for you to spend a few seconds glancing through a message that may not be of interest to you. As for me, I find the personal messages one of the most interesting aspects of this wonderful network. It's through these "non descript" notes that we learn more about our fellow Parkies. They become real people rather than just names, diagonsis dates and email addresses. I salute Barbara for establishing this network as a compete open forum --- personal messages included. LIghten up, Joyce. Life is too complicated --- especially for us Parkies --- to get worked up over something as minor as this. Stan Houston 53/5 ([log in to unmask])
