Camilla, et al... I was unaware that the Sparkle list is a sub-list of the original PD List. I may have read about it, but if I did, it musta gone in one ear (or in this case, one EYE) <smile> and out the other. Mea culpa... NOTE: I don't look at the new list as 'competition" any more than I've seen the CARE list as competition. 'Kay? Huh? I'm on the run right now 'cause I have a PD support group to get start getting ready for which is the reason for my uncharacteristically brief response back at at ya. That said - PLEASE don't read anything negative into what I *DIDN'T* but was credited to me as saying as opposed to what I *DID* say, 'cause I'm getting flak for THAT for THAT too!
