The problem of email volume and "extraneous material" is one which arises about every 3 or 4 months, and the responses are always the same--some folks agree that it is too much, and should be more "disciplined"--at one time last year we even talked a lot about dividing the list according to content.....the folks who have pointed out that this is SUPPORT GROUP, not just for factual info, are on target, I think---there are many websites now where PD info of a factual nature is available..there is also, I understand, a PD chat room---but so far as I lknow, this list and the sublist CARE, for caregivers, are unique in their combination of personal caring and support with technical info. Perhaps, as was suggested, if you stick around you will get to know folks, and will also know which threads you just don't want to bother with. When there are some 1600 people in more than 30 countries trying to communicate, there are bound to be glitches! :-) Our dear friend Don McKinley can't even find a keyboard that "knows how to spell", but he is an inspiration to us all! So please don't give up on us--try the digest option if that ewould help in your situation--use the delete key liberally if you want to--but remain open to the treasures you will find here if you can put up with our occasional eccentricities! ********** Abi Murthy wrote: SNIPPED> >I like seeing that there are real people laughing and crying-and that I/we >are not alone in what we are going thru. > >Thanx >abi (who used to think that getting PD was the last straw for her Dad, >who was already blind, but now thinks its not the end of the world) Camilla Flintermann, CG for Peter 79/8 Oxford, OH [log in to unmask] * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Ask me about the CARE list for* * Parkinson's caregivers ! * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
