Good luck.Linda hi linda i gather that your e-mail advice is AOL oriented? it is useful to indicate which mail software is being described since we all seem to use something different [although AOLians are the largest single group here] it's also good to remember that AOL's e-mail 'standards' compared to the rest of the internet and the wwweb are idio-syncratic to say the least i'm sorry that you see some of the messages here as annoying in our introductory welcome message, emphasis is placed on the list volume as a potential concern [fore-warned is fore-armed] and concern about no one should feel that their voice is being silenced i personally feel that this is not the place where we should try to exercise control over others i don't like to feel that anyone is attempting to control me and i'm sure you don't either there are regular postings here with suggestions on how to manage the volume of listmail perhaps you might consider the DIGEST option on your subscription? others [including AOLians] have been mighty impressed with it [you get all the mail in one or two 'lumps' per day rather than as individual messages] tell us about your connection with parkinson's disease? are you a PWP? janet janet paterson 52 now / 41 dx / 37 onset e-mail - [log in to unmask] web-site - http://www.geocities.com/SoHo/Village/6263/
