Hi, Hans & Simon. I think it's a GREAT idea to start up a list for kids, but maybe we could re-think the signing up procedure. The archives of our list are open and searchable. Maybe I'm being over-protective but I don't like the idea of kids' names, ages & email addresses being available to any and all. These kids have enough to deal with having parents or grandparents with pd. They don't need some pervert bothering them. Let's err on the side of caution and keep the membership of the kids' list confidential / private / protected. If there are archives, they too should be locked.
