I just subscribed to this server expecting to obtain information
concerning medication, side effects, and if possible, information
concerning the speed at wich PD progresses (I am 44 and was diagnosed
six months ago).  I was greatly suprised at the volume of "stuff",
most of which was not related to Parkinson's, that I received.
In fact, today I could not download the mail at all and lost most of
what was on my server.
Has anybody considered implementing a moderater on this mailing list?
I like the idea of two lists. One for factual information and one for
other topics.
