Subject: *Parkinsn List Study Group*
We have been looking at messages from the Parkinsn List archives to
develop an understanding of how people use the list and its value to
them. From this, we have some ideas about "what is going on on the
List?". We would now like to hear directly from list members about your
experience with the Parkinsn list.
We will be posting some questions to the List over the next few weeks;
your answers will help us to better understand your experience and to
interpret it to others. You can choose to respond to these questions or
not. If you share your expertise and experience with us, we will be
grateful. It's important for us to hear from you IN YOUR OWN WORDS. If
you find it too difficult to respond or are not interested, that's OK.
The questions will be posted at weekly intervals. You can respond to
some questions and not others, as you wish. You can respond "on list" or
privately to: Leslie Van Dover at: [log in to unmask]
