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:
      For web browsers wanting to lock on to the Polio folder:
        GOPHER://otpt-gopher.ups.edu:70/1D-1:11442:Polio%09%09
      For Gopher burrowers wanting to lock on to the Polio folder:
     otpt-gopher.ups.edu     port 70    Selector D-1:11442:Polio
  There is an IRC chat session on Wednesday nights from 6-8pm PST. To
 connect, you use an IRC program and type:  /join #polio
  There is a list of recent medical articles on post-polio syndrome at:
