This is an unmoderated, user maintained list dedicated to exploring the full range of ideas and activities of persons who have survived polio. The focus is intended to be on polio survivors as complete individuals with varied lifestyles, experiences and beliefs who belong to the broad disability community.

The model for the list is not a support group but rather a forum where people with a common experience or interest in polio can share experiences and insights. Topics might include but are not imited to medical issues, as well as the recreational, intellectual, social, political, disability rights and advocacy, and literary interests of the list members.


Frank and open debate is encouraged and list subscribers are strongly encouraged to take personal responsibility for deleting or bypassing posts they find objectionable.


This list is not intended as a substitute for or supplement to personal email Messages to individuals such as greetings and compliments and "me toos", and personal conversations should not be addressed to the list.
