I have been busy on a project and have missed the NFL playoffs, is the President impeached yet..among other things. The "Too Much Volume" situation is finally solved. Effective today, the Parkinsn List is online. Parkinsn watchers can now see the messages come in with Netscape or Internet Explorer and at the same time listen to some of my arrangements of songs...if they wish. Putting the Parkinsn List online was not meant to replace but to enhance its value and visibility to the world. Barbara and I have thought for years about solutions that could increase our readership..long before Parkinson's became fashionable. There is a gap between when messages are posted and the log is closed at the listserv, making it available to Simon's Archives. Putting the Parkinson List online addresses this gap. Subscription to the list will still be required to post, but the instructions are so much better than they used to be. The Parkinsn List Subject Index and also the Parkinsn List Thread Indexes will refresh themselves automatically...even while I am in Australia. Viewers of those pages will always be up to date because the pages update every 5 minutes. Things only change when new messages arrive. Those of you who are battling with Parkinsn 'Information Overload' can set your subscription to nomail and view the list at your leasure while still enjoying the benefits of subscription. The Parkinsn List Online as been added as a link on the Parkinsn's Archive Treasure page at: http://www.ionet.net/~jcott/homepage/archive/patp.html The Parkinsn List Online opens as a separate window...so you have a choice of music..if desired. The rest of the Parkinsn site has been revamped since my return making more of the resources available in a more appealing manner and formatting corrections have been made. Additional space has been contracted for the coming year. I have one or more projects in the works before starting on the new HomeBoy Adventures Volume 2. The listserv will be changing their software shortly to make searching the archives more productive since Utoronto will have all the archives. It is the ingenious folks that helped us span the gap. Enjoy and keep contributing, some contribute on the list, some contribute at church, I contribute on the web. John Cottingham
