Greetings, Ld!!
While you were muttering to Tom Mckeever, , you spake thusly:
LW> Hi, Tom, sounds like you are still plenty busy, just read your post
LW> about the new release enabling access to the BBS over the I'Net.
LW> I'm not sure I understand it exactly, but will watch for a short
LW> explanation if you could.
Basically, if you have internet Access (Telnet or WWW or FTP), you can
access my BBS here in FL directly over the net!
LW> I have intended to ask for some time now if any of the Polio Survivors
LW> have had a problem with extreme sensitivity to scented products. My
not SEVERE, to the best of my knowledge.. Some sensitivity to pungent
aromatics has been mentioned, but not anything extreme, per se.. :-(
LW> of disabling. My face burns, my lips feel as if they are coated with
LW> oil, I itch under the skin, my eyes burn and if the exposure is for more
LW> than a minute or two, I have difficulty breathing, and get a severe
LW> headache.
That has not been reported, as far as i know, LD
LW> Anyone else having this problem; wonder if it is related to the nerve
LW> damage done by Polio?
Good point....
LW> Tom, do you know of a list on the I'Net discussing this type of problem?
Sure, i quote from it regularly.. There is USENET group that grew from
here, ALT.SUPPORT.POST-POLIO (not a list) and there is the PPS
List-server - Here is info:
Welcome! This is a short periodic post about how the post-polio
internet resources are organized, and about how to access the
information that's available.
There is an excellent reference area that can be accessed via
WWW at:
http://www.eskimo.com/~dempt/polio.html
Information can be retrieved via ftp from:
ftp.eskimo.com /u/d/dempt/polio
or ftp://ftp.eskimo.com/u/d/dempt/polio
There is a newsgroup named alt.support.post-polio. You can subscribe
to this like any other newsgroup. The charter for the newsgroup is
available at the above WWW site.
There is an active mailing list listserv that can be joined by
sending an e-mail to listserv@sjuvm.stjohns.edu with a blank subject
line and
sub Polio yourfirstname yourlastname
in the body of the message.
The mailing list and newsgroup are linked so that much of the same
information is available on either. Specifically, all of the posts
from the mailing list appear on the newsgroup. Some of the posts to the
newsgroup will not appear on the mailing list. There is a limit of 250
lines on posts send to the mailing list.
The mailing list has an archive facility if you'd like to look at
previous postings. There is also an online archive of previous postings
to the mailinglist/newsgroup maintained by Ron Stone:
