Ditto on Rose, Sonia. All of us start out lurking. Then a lot of us tentatively post. Becoming bolder, we become part of the community. A few of us don't shut up.
Online communities are an odd combination of the old and new. The new is obvious. The old, however, is similar to societies that ensured continuity by oral history. If you look back at even our short archive you will find names that were once common that are no more. They made a contribution and then faded away "into the West" (any Tolkien fans?). Someday I will do the same. If we are lucky, you will too. Welcome. -Rick

Please know that, while a handful of contributors here are impressively well-educated about PD, many readers (especially the newly diagnosed) visit this site daily to humbly learn new things.
We're the ones who don't post often but are extremely grateful to those who do. Remember, today's Junior Members may if so inspired become tomorrow's Senior Members.
Your apology--while gracious--was unnecessary. I enjoy your posts...keep 'em coming!
