Murray & all, That is the very reason why I asked for the PARKINSN ON-LINE address. I wanted to check it out for myself before I formed an opinion. As long as the archives are available, then what John has done is just 1 step (or more) faster. My feeling is that the members of this list need to start working together & stop all the "infighting." There is a common goal here & instead of all working towards it, there are too many complaining. There has been a lot of talk about the need for publicity. I think John is helping us to get there & that his (main) fault is not fore warning the list first. Without Barbara Paterson, we wouldn't have this "cyber family." Now John has extended his arms to include so much more. It's time that there be more praise for those that are helping the PWP. Let's save the criticism for those that are hindering our common goal. And if anyone wants to complain about my comments, I DO know how to use my delete button.
