Dear Joan Go Giirl. I've been on the list about a month and have gone along with a number of debates that had no meaning to me in the interest of trying to recognize that we are all allowed our opinions. But this latest "debate" on PD vs Diabetes takes the cake. I recognize it started based upon NIH funding and was further fueled by the ADA solicitation, but it serves no useful purpose, is self serving and is just one big pity-party.
