But, David has a valid suggestion in trying to get the pigs off-line. After all, it is a certain minority of the list members who partake in the pigs revelry. Most list members, I'm willing to bet, couldn't care less about the pigs and find the pigs and Mafioso messages both burdensome to delete and a needless waste of time. Why not give serious consideration David's idea of starting a second list, which includes the non-serious side of Parkinson's and leave the list to people like David that turn thereto for information and guidance and not pigs and jokes. I must admit, however, that I would join the pigs list just to keep abreast of the latest jokes. That one about the lady that fell asleep in church and was poked with a hatpin by her husband killed me. But, for those of us not infatuated with the pigs humor or other type of humor, would it kill us to separate the pigs from the real information related to Parkinson's Disease. You also write that: #3 I personally think that humor embodies the spirit of the List.Certainly helps me get through the day. >> I think that I've addressed this issue above. Nuff said. Harlan
