Bonnie... Sure there's "Non-PD" messages posted on the original List. Since when was it EVER made mandatory by Barb Patterson - the List owner - that ONLY PD-related messages be posted here? After all, Barb P. IS still the owner of THIS List, isn't she? And SHE hasn't invitied those of us who occasionally post a non-PD related message to leave and go elewhere, has she? Personally, I believe it's poor "Netiquette," and generally just poor taste to continually solilcite for one's personal list on another as you're doing. Once you've started a List you SHOULD observe that this, the most of elementary of List-ownes rules. It's common Net courtesy.... After all, had you and your fellow Lists owners posted for, say, your new "Lop-eared rabbit list," or perhaps your new "Low-fat cooking list," you would have undoubtedly told to take yourselves to a more approprate list elsewhere. While I wish you and your fellow "Sparkle" List ownersd and members every success with your humor list, enough's enough already with the solicitations on the Parkinson's List Barb (gettin' ready to duck & run) Mallut [log in to unmask] iginal Message----- From: Bonnie Rowley <[log in to unmask]> To: [log in to unmask] <[log in to unmask]> Date: Friday, August 27, 1999 5:47 AM Subject: NON-PD - An invitation to SPARKLE >Greetings to all, > >It has been brought to my attention that there are numerous NON-PD posts on >PIE recently.
