---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Sun, 2 Aug 1998 08:09:04 -0700 From: Marge Tuchman <[log in to unmask]> To: Barbara Patterson <[log in to unmask]> Cc: Margarer Tuchman <[log in to unmask]>, "\"Jerry_Finch\" <" <[log in to unmask]> Subject: Opportunity Knocking or Missing Persons' Bulletin We are missing YOU! Of the 1,600+/- folks who subscribe to this list, only about 50 are active participants and 100 or so who occasionally post. That leaves 1,500 of you that, for some reason, never take part. This message is to those who never or seldom say anything. We know that you are silent not because you are uninterested in learning more about PD, after all you found the LIST and then took the trouble to sign up. What we would very much like to know is how to engage you in an exchange of information and in turn satisfy your unexpressed though obvious need to learn. >From time to time we would like to send out questionnaires to list members who chose to participate. The questionnaires are too long to post on the list,however the answers you give are important. Your name and address can remain anonymous and, if you want to post questions or comments to the list through us, we'll be happy to return the favor. The first step in participating is to do nothing. That's the easy part. If you do NOT want to participate, just send an email to [log in to unmask] and you'll never hear from us again. In about a week the rest of you will receive an email. IF you ARE interested in joining, all you need to do is hit the "REPLY" button. If you do not want to take part, here is another chance to do nothing, because if we don't hear from you, we'll not send you any more emails. For those who want to be part of this effort, we can promise opportunities to take part in activities that are bigger than the sum of its parts, and will be farther reaching than simply summarizing the number of respondents who answered "yes" or "no". Becoming one of many who take the trouble and time to share will yield results that will benefit each of us as well as those who are yet to be PWPs. In summary: 1) you are NOT interested, send an email to [log in to unmask] and say "not interested". 2) don't do anything and you will receive an email in about a week. Hit "REPLY" to that email and you will receive the first of the questionnaires. 3) don't do anything and you will not receive another survey 4) complete the survey, return it to us and you will receive another one in about 30 days. You will receive an average of one survey a month that will take an average of 30 minutes to complete and can be sent back by email. Results of the survey will be posted to the list. All surveys and results will be on the http://www.parkinsonalliance.net web site. ANONIMITY IS GUARANTEED!! Looking forward to meeting ya'll, Jerry Finch<[log in to unmask] Margaret Tuchman<[log in to unmask] ======================================= The Official PWP Dumpster Gang Hideout http://www.newcountry.nu/pd/ The PWP WebRing http://www.webring.org/cgi-bin/webring?ring=parkie;list The Parkinson Alliance http://www.parkinsonalliance.net/
