Listfriends-- Tonight I had another call from Ivan Suzman, who is asking for assistance if possible re: being unable to access or send email, due to an upgrading of his server, "Juno" which is going on. Ivan asked me to check on the list whether there is someone else who is using Juno and whose email is still functional (perhaps in a differentpart of the country) and who might help him negotiate with the Juno folks for a quicker restoration of service. He has tried to reach the upperlevel people without success. Now, without email, he is fairly desperate, unable to contact the PD support community, or to access the diabetes "study" he is working on. Because of his advanced PD, he's terrified of service restoration in two weeks dumping an unmanageable load of messages on him! (I'm sure others can sympathize with the physical problems this would entail.) This was an automatic upgrade apparently with no warning, and he is pretty "stranded" because of it. I told Ivan I'd relay his message , and of course no one can reply to him directly, so if there is a kind soul on Juno out there, I guess you should post to me..... BTW, he has not seen the messages from several people about his study, due to the interruption of email, but I mentioned them to him. Ivan is very much aware that his "study" is not a random sample/scientific one--however, sees suggestive and interesting patterns in the replies,wonders about a qualified researcher picking up on them (e.g. links to the female relatives in greater degree, possible genetic links, etc.) which when he can again post he will summarize for the list. His hope is that he may provide impetus for further research by apropriate organizations, NOT that this study in itself proves anythiconclusively!ly. I hope that anyone on Juno who can help will let me know--thanks in advance. He hopes to move to new home on June 20.
