Guest guest Posted May 23, 2001 Report Share Posted May 23, 2001 Joe - Don't know if you'll see this, but I'm right there beside you. I joined this list to get and give information and support relative to the DS but it's disintegrated into a cat and dog fight. I'm unsubscribing until the week before my surgery, June 19th. Hopefully, Joe, I'll "see" you again. You and Joy have been so helpful to me and my husband. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 23, 2001 Report Share Posted May 23, 2001 I have absolutely had it with this petition crap. I'm going to unsubscribe for a week or two and check back in later. If things have quieted down I can re join but I am totally sick of having my mail box cluttered up with all this. And I know of several people who will consider this a victory.

Guest guest Posted May 23, 2001 Report Share Posted May 23, 2001 Just read on the website - then you can pick and choose which posts to read and NOTHING clutters your e-mail box.

Guest guest Posted May 23, 2001 Report Share Posted May 23, 2001 Joe, My surgery is less than one month away. I need those of you who have been there now more than ever. You add so much to this list, as do several others. How horribly sad that the outcome of one persons surgery has split this list. What about those of us who are here for support? Now so many have decided to choose sides, to draw battle lines. IS this what Deb is wanting? I didnt know her well, but I cant imagine she would want this to split this group. Please dont stay away long, Joe. Please dont go away at all.
