Well said, Margaret, and I'm very much in agreement with you. Barb Mallut aka "Lil_Honey" on the Parkie Chat [log in to unmask] ---------- From: PARKINSN: Parkinson's Disease - Information Exchange Network on behalf of Margaret Tuchman Sent: Thursday, December 26, 1996 3:59 PM To: Multiple recipients of list PARKINSN Subject: Re: Why is this on the PD-list?!! Dear All, I must be the most naive person on this list!! Ofcourse I have noticed John Walker's signature at the bottom of his posts, and I may have even made a mental note that he has something to do with the internet, but my over-riding and constant reaction to his postings has been, THANKS for the trouble you take to give us this information! And, NOT "you are making a financial killing off of us poor helpless parkies"! I guess we have a variety of approaches to reading the mail, I glance at the author, read the message and head for the signature line to check if I can add information to the growing list of electronic advocates. If I see a state, address, zipcode, etc, I am happy. If that information is contained in a business format, I think no less of the person. There are many, wonderful people with and without PD who have been invaluable contributors to our collective well-being who sign their posts with their professional/business identity. Are we going to run them out of town -- off the list? I would hope not!
