It seems that this topic has become all out war. Reading the letter posted by John, I believe his critic's point was that the list of topics in John's post was of little relevance to PWP. John readily agreed with the writer that none of the topics related to PD, but noted that some people have other medical problems. However, there have been times when the topics seemed so far removed from anything relating to this list, that I too have felt cross that I spent time reading them. To those of you who write - if you don't want to read..delete, this is not the answer because I have found many of John's posts useful and have filed them for future use. As a result I tend to read all of his posts. Not long ago another list member posted a message asking that we remember to put subject lines on our posts, because it is time consuming to open a post only to find it is of no interest. To some of us who have limited 'on' time this can be very frustrating. As I recall there were objections to that post as well. Though some of you who have responded are PWP like myself, others including John are not. It is important for all of us to remember that what may seem like a minor annoyance to others, can be extremely upsetting to a PWP. We can only cope with so much frustration. I hadn't paid much attention to the block at the end of John's posts prior to this exchange. I believe John's intentions are good, and making his service available to us is very generous. However, I noticed there are four references made to the fact that there is no charge for his services, but his company is getting the benefit of free advertising on every post. It is my understanding that advertising is not permitted on this list, so perhaps John should delete the ad which states that he is in the business of using the Internet. Judith
