my dear jim

you said this is completely up to me and it's my call

well, my call is loud and clear and public

when you first started sending in updates
i thought that your story needed to be hollered from the rooftops
and i still do

i don't believe that any of us could get too much of your story
whether we all realise it or not

posting is not only posting for instant communication
it's how information gets into the archives

i am using my web-site as a semi-cyber-home for the list
as a means of providing easy access to the gold in them thar hills
and as a means of showing them off
we have an amazing pd resource at our fingertips
because of the archives

but more important
you are the only person i know of who has parkinson's
who is getting better

i want to know everything that happens to you
[well.... not Everything...]
and everything that gets told about you to the world

so as far as i am concerned
post away
post until you can post no more
post until the cows and the pigs come home
and whatever you post i will add to the website

publicity?
isn't that exactly what we have been itching to get?
don't restrict it now
let 'er rip!!!
