i did get a message...

"I'm sorry, but I had to remove the post in the Parkinson's Disease forum referring to the Yahoo Group's parkinson's disease group because it appeared to be soliciting members to join that online community (which is against our community guidelines).

I appreciate that you were trying to be helpful to the members in that thread, but I believe they were looking to try and get something going here, not on another site. Referring people to another site for their community sort of defeats the purpose of what everyone is trying to build here, don't you think?"
