4. One reason, among many, why I stay on the List is that I'm addicted to it! If I don't get online for my daily fix I begin to feel insecure, anxioous, and isolated. The List has become an important part of my life and as omnipresent as my PD symptoms. 5. The three most important things I get: a good deal of relevant information; some sense of companionship; and, the invidious knowledge that tho my condition as a PWP is bad, it is not yet as bad as some. 6. What else I get is the (ego) satisfaction from sharing the information from the List with members of my local PD support group. The List is an an excellent resource on PD that I share with those who do not have computers and access to the List. (Although now retired I'm stuck in the teacher mode of sharing information.) -------------------- Sid Roberts 67/dx3 [log in to unmask] Youngstown, Ohio
