Simon's continued support of splitting the list is a valid one: >Unfortunately, the people who have left PARKINSN (probably in >frustration) aren't here to speak up for themselves, and are probably >lost to the online PD community forever. That's a real pity, and in the >end we'll all be the losers. IMHO, splitting the list would be a positive change. As one of the more silent majority here, compared to some of you simply because I so chose, it is disheartening to once in while notice a misdirected request to unsubscribe. Sometimes volume of mail is cited as a reason. Other times, no reason is given and one only wonders why that person no longer is interested in participating. As we know, it can be extremely intimidating for some people to express themselves in such a public forum. Some of us have no problem kidding around and are able to banter quite easily with one another while others may be put off by it. Having a couple of lists categorizing input may offer a safer and more productive area of interest for all. On the other hand, change itself can be intimidating simply because our comfort zones are involved. But since we have a volunteer to set up a couple of lists, (Simon), why not give it a try? Suggest one of the lists be PKHUMOR or PKSMALLTALK. Regards, Clara Nistler Gene Nistler 64/10
