Hi Barb, > I must admit to a touch of exasperation when confronted with yet ANOTHER > complaint from the gentleman in question concerning the fact that over 1500 > individuals from 30-plus nations don't post on the List with a 100 per cent > same fervor and viewpoint vis a vis List content as his. Surely, instead of demanding that the carers, folk seeking medication information, etc., get off this list and form their own, would one be controversial to suggest that *he* get off "our" list, and form *his* own? > I LIKE the diverse opinions, the fact that we have more in common than this > steeeeenkin' disease.

Of *course* the Udall bill is important, but *only* to those in the US, I would suggest. And the US is not the whole world, yet. :-) We would all, however, be interested in a "potted" update from time to time, I am sure. Give 'em h***, Udall supporters, and the best of luck to you. Remember, the list is located in *CANADA*. And there are only just over 500 of us. And while I am on my soap-box, PPLLEEAASSEE, no more snide remarks, complaints, "flaming" etc., for *anyone*. Many people, PWP's and carers alike, get considerable *emotional* support from the kind folk in this list. As well, it is a place where one can ask *any* question, no matter how personal, or technical, or repetitious of earlier postings, and get a range of helpful replies without being spoken down to. We all have our pet peeves and phobias, but put them aside when we enter this "sanctum". Jim
