Your comments about your experience with databases and whether or not you might get use of the List's, leads me to believe you would consider sending a personal e-mail to each of us (and maybe even follow-up?). Combine with some periodic encouragement to respond through posting to the list. If you were able to accomplish that it would be a more reliable survey, certainly at least in the number of respondents. I imagine you would need some special software for that, though. With all that work perhaps we could tack on a few more, unrelated questions such as the one on blood pressure, speech therapy, etc. Maybe some non-medical related questions as well - SSDI, all these unity questions. Granted this group is not representative of PWP in general, but what we find out may be able to help the 1,500 of us, at least. Bruce Anderson (50,3+) Schooley's Mountain, NJ [log in to unmask]
