Thank you, Janet - no, it was not an exaggeration. I received 192 emails this morning.... however, I did not indicate that all those mails related to china patterns! Simply, that many of them were not PD related in any way, shape, or form - and that I would appreciate knowing how to go about receiving ONLY Parkinson's information. The responses I've received from others on this list indicate they would like similar information on reducing their volumes, and receiving the information that is pertinent to them. I understand, from Camilla, that SPARKLE is available to those of you who would like to discuss non-PD issues. I hope you find that helpful! ;-) I certainly understand needing to find a way to cope, and it's my understanding that SPARKLE is intended to assist in that area. It's also my understanding that I'm not the only one to have raised this as a valid issue. Sincerely, Kelly
