to carole and judith and other thread-spinners
with the GREATEST respect:

now,
there's a perfct example of really POOR use of the subject-header-line
let alone topic-names!!!

could someone, ANYONE, please tell me what the heck
the above sentimental and totally IRRELEVANT girl-talk
has to do with "topic-names"???

or even with PD,
when you get right down TOIT???

all this boring talk about nit-picking and crying and crankiness
has NO BUSINESS on this list
and i, for one, am, quite frankly, getting sick and tired
of having to read this kind of useless malarkey
it really hurts my sensitive eyeballs AND
TURNS my delicate stomach
and i feel quite bad enough already, thank you very much!!!

the last time i looked,
THIS list was SUPPOSED to be about Parkinson's Disease
not some do-gooder WIMPLY-ASS 'sharing' support group
moaning and complaining 'oh, woe is me'!!!
do us all a HUGE favour and
go join the PILLOW PUNCHERS' newsgroup!!!

and another thing that i fail to understand is
just what is so darned "difficult"
for our so-called INTELLIGENT list-members
about making a simple little change to the subject header line,
[so simple that even a schizoid IDIOT would be able to do it
blindfolded and with one hand tied behind his back[
when replying to a post???
how on god's green earth can we keep
CERTAIN list-members from complaining about list-volume
if we can't even use this SIMPLE feature to our advantage???
why do i even BOTHER suggesting all these things???
nobody EVER appreciates it!!!

and another thing that really takes the cake,
just what is all this ridiculous GARBAGE about optimism and pessimism???
who cares???!!! i have pd, period!!!
that's ALL that matters to ME!!!
