I would suggest that members NOT identify themselves publicly, on the list (or most places) as seniors and/or disabled and living alone. This is particularly important when your signature line includes your home address. Other than for our members who are working so hard re the Udall bill, there is no need that I can see for us to know precisely where each other lives. We wouldn't stand in a mall or any other crowded place and announce that we live alone and give out our home address. The Parkinsn list has had a few 'false' subscribers who are deleted as soon as identified...thankfully, not as many as some other lists. In addition to those 'false' subscribers, remember that email, on or off the list, may be personal but is NOT private. So, please, take a moment and edit your signature lines and delete your home address....for safety's sake.
