Marjorie... I have been the recipient of both public jabs (which I didn't respond to), and privately emailed nasty messages from David Boots, censoring what I've posted. Having also read a number of his thoughtful and often witty posts here on the PD list over the past year, I believe you may have a valid point in that it's possible David is going thru a medical and/or a personal crisis right now. Based upon that, I feel your comments here to have been made out of love and concern for one of our own, and would hope that our other members recognize that. I also admire the courage you've shown in addressing what at best is a touchy and sensitive subject, and for not backing down in the face of opposition. My virtual hat's off to YOU, Marjorie!

I know the rest of you don't understand what has been going on, but when someone's personality changes so much in one year, something is wrong!!!! I don't feel that the 3 of us are the only ones who have received notes from David telling us what to post or not to post on the Net. I'm quite sure there are a lot of people who have received personal posts from him. When he answered John the way he did, I realized that he does indeed, need help. Hopefully, maybe his medications are just way off---what I am saying is---someone needs to help David and get him to a Doctor. There comes a time in all families, even in this "Parkie" family that someone needs to stick their neck out & say "enough is enough" get yourself to the Doctor & find out what is wrong! I would love to have the old David back!!! As Ever, Marjorie Moorefield just another librarian (with PD)
