I am forwarding this message [slightly edited] from a listmember for discussion. Barb ***** Hi Barb, I thought I'd ask you this first. I feel like an oddball on this list because there are a few members who post often and take up a lot of "space", are fairly articulate, authoritative, etc. You do a great job keeping the list together and running, but I have thought about the need for an alternate "shy people's" list, a place where the shy, the tired, the less articulate, the skeptical, the scared, and even the gloomy could gather in safety and have voices that don't get drowned out. I'm especially thoughtful about a comment that [another member] made recently about PARKINSN not being a place to share feelings and opinions, but to convey information. Is that the current perspective? I want a place to share feelings and opinions. What would be your feeling about someone starting up a less intimidating forum for shy person's sharing about issues relating to having Parkinson's Disease? I know nothing about how to do this but would find out as needed. Hope you're doing well and don't regard these comments as mutinous.
