hi cyber-sibling;
you can 'stop the incoming' on either a permanent or temporary basis
by using the 'signoff parkinsn' or the 'set parkinsn nomail'
listserv commands
the complete set of updated instructions is below
please let me know if you have any problems

ps
a gentle reminder to all:
any requests for assistance with pd list commands
are being answered privately off-list by yours truly

Parkinsn Information Exchange Network {PIEN):
-------------------------------------------------------
To subscribe, send this 'instruction' message:

After you confirm your subscription by return e-mail, you will
start receiving messages as they are posted to the PIEN.

How to Change your Subscription Settings for the
Parkinsn Information Exchange Network {PIEN):
-------------------------------------------------------
There are various settings which can change the way your subscription
is managed and there are specific words aka 'commands' aka
'instructions' that the listserv computer will recognize and
respond to. All 'instructions' to the computer must be in the
'body' section of your e-mail message. Leave the 'subject line' blank.
Since the listserv computer at the University of Toronto manages
several mailing lists, all commands affecting your subscription
must include the name of the mailing list too.
(The listserv name for the PIEN is PARKINSN - there is no "O")
To request a descriptive list of the 'commands' that the listserv
recognises, simply send the following 'instruction' message:
HELP
To find out what your subscription settings currently are:
QUERY PARKINSN
The computer will send back a message to you
listing the current settings with a brief description of each setting
If you have not seen your own messages on the list
you may need to change a setting on your subscription.
One of the default settings for new memberships in regard to
reproducing copies of your own messages in the listmail sent to you is:
NO REPRO
To change the setting so that you receive copies of your own messages
as well as the other listmail:
SET PARKINSN REPRO
To change your subscription setting to receive the digest format:
SET PARKINSN DIGEST
To change your subscription setting back from digest format
to individual messages:
SET PARKINSN MAIL
To stop the incoming mail temporarily *** [for vacations, etc]:
SET PARKINSN NOMAIL
To resume incoming mail:
SET PARKINSN MAIL
[***
This means that you 'miss out' on the mail during your vacation
but if you want to 'catch up' on what you've missed
you can always request old messages from the listserver]
To stop incoming mail permanently and to terminate your subscription:
SIGNOFF PARKINSN
-------------------------------------------------------
How to Post a Public Message to the
Parkinsn Information Exchange Network (PIEN):

message for all the other subscribers to read, type your message
in the 'body' area and fill in the 'subject line' with a brief
description of your topic.
