Dear David
I have found this list a life saver, it has improved the quality of my life
immeasurably.
I came to it as a reasonably recently blinded person and I can't thank it
enough.
So no talk about closing it down.
Thank you for it,
Niamh

We know who the new people are and also those who claim to know more but
in
reality obviously do not. No body has ever been put down on this list or
any
other I manage, but if that would turn out to be the general opinion among
the membership there are at least 2 options available.
The list can be shut down which could give me for example a lot of free
time
as it would eliminate the need for me to take the time to compose such
messages as this.
Second if anybody doesn't like the manner it is managed they are free to
leave.
I don't need this kind of grief ever and especially now for reasons that I
am not willing to share.
We do this because we can not because we must.

A person who has a closed mind is afraid of learning.

Subject: [Blind-Computing] NOW I UNDERSTAND HOW SOME NEWBEES MIGHT FEEL
Recently, I made a serious request for the key strokes I would need to
learn
the available RAM on my laptop.
Several people were kind enough to provide the information but one or two
others decided to turn it into a joke or a poke at me for the article I
managed to get printed.
If the same thing happened to one of our list members who was genuinely
trying to learn something, that person might go off and complain
vociferously about the attitude displayed by a technology based list
like
this one. I do believe that some of our more capable and knowledgeable
members do tend to forget that there are many levels of understanding
represented by the participants of this group. Perhaps a better approach
might have been to ascertain whether the request was a serious one before
taking humorous pot shots at the sender.
LOL!
