Ivan, When I read the last paragraph I thought Mike was paying you a tribute. I didn't see it as a belittlement. After rereading it I still think that is what he was trying to do! Hope you can see it that way. Bob Martone http://www.kingwoodcable.com/martone Mike's last paragraph "So if our decisions draw criticism from the most aggressive Parkinson's go-getters like Ivan Suzman, we accept that as an unfortunate price of maintaining our credibility and effectiveness in the public and political domains. Adopting positions or disseminating information that undermined our effectiveness would be the true "disservice" to the Parkinson's community." Michael, the one problem and only problem I have with your post to us is a needless attack on my name at the very end!! Certainly you must understand that it does Joan Samuelson and P.A.N. no good to wake up to you spending energy to belittle any PWP who gives whatever time and energy he or she can, to be an advocate and activist. If you had spared your biting pen, and negative energy, your post would be reproducible. As it is now, it is injurious to me, and by extension, to us. PLEASE remove the needless attack on me at the end.
