Still hungover from xmas.

We prefer a quiet life?

 Recoil reaction from the 5 personalities we had arguments with last week?
Some of mails were directed at you on the group.   Did you miss their's?   I
don't have it, unless it's in my Troll's folder.    ALL the posts from those
5? people arguing about terminology etc. with some of our Regular Posters,
were from One person... posting as ~5 fake names.

   Hopefully they've left.    My Spamkiller software went from ~12 posts a
day to 60, and is now back to 45 this morning (decreasing).   Often when
there's someone like that, who we assume has Epilepsy or at least Knows
someone who has, we might miss a Phisher or a Troll who doesn't even have
seizures or experiences with the Dark Side of waking up in Emerg. or in
Hospital, and finding they've been on Monitors for 4 days.

   I have to wonder what kind of Personality gets value out of doing that.
I can't find one that I'd want to associate with anyway.
  I think there are also some Sports and other stuff on this weekend,
although I don't know the times.  I saw the end of the Football (U.S.) last
week but missed the First half and any 'entertainment' that was on.    The
Game wrt skill etc. was excellent.   And I think there's either a Motor Race
or UK Cup? going on in the UK.

  You're in Summer down there too.   SOME of the Northern areas (or North
East of N.America at least) are somewhere under the snow !!  They might be
still digging out.     Can't speak for UK or Europe -- we used to have 4-5
people from over there posting too.    G.R.

(I found out that *5 chipmunks in my backyard have built their own
Underground Railroad -- they have about 8 tunnel entrances at extreme
corners of the yard where the **Snow has Crusted to a hard shell on top.
Then they have entrances thru that crust at those ~8 points, and built
subway routes underneath in the Soft Snow...   We were watching them playing
tag while the Barbeque was running last night.  )

WRT Group posts,   Maybe the traffic will pick up if you start a New Subject
or Question.   E.G.  What sort of restrictions are you under 'down there'
when you get Diagnosed, wrt Driving etc.
  Do YOU have to report if you have seizures or take seizure medication as
a condition on the licence renewal?  or is your Doctor supposed (legally) to
contact the Motor Vehicle people, to tell them you are Newly Diagnosed and
should have your Licence withdrawn or suspending until you're controlled ?
   You probably know but only post to one group at a time.
 If you turn on 'display all newsgroups' or whatever it's called on your
system,  about twice a week we'll get someone send a post to 3-5 groups with
the one message.  Problem with that is if someone does a "reply to group"
their group reply and E-address will go to all *5 groups whether they're
subscribed on those or not.    I stopped listing any of those-->  some
lurkers who never post complained about it.  I just don't reply to any
Crossposted thread.

  2)  Are there any OTHER restrictions,  Social or Legal, you've
encountered since being diagnosed that  you DIDN'T HAVE before you were
diagnosed?   (I assume your's is semi-recent?)
  2a)  Have any of your Friends or Family started acting more protective or
remote since you were diagnosed?  How about co-workers or others you
socialize with?
   (I was surprised how FEW people thought it was any kind of deal, and
knew very little about what the symptoms were or even what 'epilepsy' was,
since they hadn't encountered it.)

 (This is going out about *Noon:20 Sunday, even though it's overnight
already Monday Morning down there.  If your reader timestamps incoming
messages, this is Eastern Time location in North America.   There are *2
timezones East of me, and *3 West of me for the whole width of the
Continent.    We haven't had someone from Alaska (another timezone) post
since about 2001.   UK is 5 hours East of my time (they're at Universal Time
clock).  We've also had posters from Germany and Italy from time to time.  )
