No. Everett, there is no need to quiet down. However, I think that this board is in need of some extensive reflection. Since coming on this board (and the old BT) I have been struck by a number of things. PD is supposed to divest one of their enthusiasm, their ambition and their interest. For these reasons, I am constantly amazed at people like Everett and Ron Hutton who, in spite of having had PD for many years, are still there in the trenches seeking the key that will free us all from this malady, However, I wonder if some of this energy is misdirected. Could we turn this thread into a discussion of ways in which we might be more useful to the PD community? I have some ideas (involving publications, review papers, even a book) in which many of us can participate. After all, readers of this thread have as much, or better, command of the literature then many professional PD researchers.

What do you think?
