We should certainly keep in mind that the computer age is very young and the internet/e-mail technology is even very much younger. I know that in my support group (((here in a very high tech metropolitan area (4 major aircraft manufacturers) where modern technology is extensively used))) only has about 10% computer literate/owners/users and guess what, the majority of them are young. Most old dogs don't want to learn new tricks. Should not draw any conclusion and certainly shouldn't use list makeup as an argument that young onset is more prevalent than NIH and other organizations state. That could backfire on us and cause a loss of credibility. Let's don't become fanatics and mislead like some (not all) in the Lyme Disease community. By the way, do we have to get so many updates and reposts and revisions to the tv list each day? Once would certainly be more than enough. Another thing, we don't need to be reminded that list instructions will be handled off list in response each time to someone's request or incorrect posting. Would only be occasionally necessary (if and when we start seeing "on list" responses to these requests). Finally, to leave you laughing - - - - - > A burglar broke into a house one night.
