Kelly, you make an excellent point and share my view exactly. I wonder if there is some practical mechanism to simply not forward e-mail that is not directly connected to Parkinson's Disease. There would have to be someone or some software to act as gate keeper. I don't know if that is practical, or desired by the majority of the List members, but I personally would like to see something like that implemented.
