<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> Questions: Why does the list appear to have gotten so big in the last few weeks? Is it because it really has gotten bigger? (there were about 800 subscribers 6 weeks ago.) Is it because those 800 people finally decided to become more vocal? Are more Celiacs getting on line and/or finding this listserve? Or, is it perhaps, because of this listserve, more people are getting the word out about CD, getting tested, and finding out that what has been troubling them for what may seem like forever, could be controlled with a diet change? (Sorry about the run on sentence.) Personally, I don't know what I would have done without this listserve. The introductory packets, FAQ, etc. are invaluable to someone who is newly diagnosed, not to mention all the support. I don't think that my doctor is terribly up to date on CD. To his credit he did diagnose me. I am asymptomatic. I am, I think, only the second or third person he has diagnosed with CD in probably 25-30 years. He was as surprised to find it as I was! My vote would be to either keep the list as is, or if possible add the Usenet group in addition to, not in place of it. Cindy -- Howard J.
