SANDRODENT, et als. : Your 'research' makes a point . . . perhaps inartfully raised [and overstated] by Jeanne Prestin . . . the so-called marginal or non-PD related postings take a bit of time to read and discard [if one is so inclined]. This could be annoying to some folks. However, each message allows me to better understand the personal lifestyles of fellow PWP or CGs and to realize that I am normal . . . I just have this PD 'thing' to deal with everyday. It has been quite a revelation to me to realize that PWP live normal, everyday lives, make jokes, build patios, attend conferences, etc. I can do this!! For those list members who have questions and need advice, they can either broadcast to the list or e-mail those individuals who have the experience, skill or knowledge to offer advice. List members have contacted me directly [by e-mail, telephone and snail mail] for details about a posting or a copy of an article and I have done the same. In its present format, the list works for me. I have no complaints. Stephan 52/6
