Hi Tom and Beth, Yes, occasionally some off topics do get through. Here is the list guidelines:
List guidelines. The topics that can be discussed on the Blind Handy Man list are as follows. Here is a direct quote from the beginning of every show, "building repairing or maintaining, all designed with the blind in mind". That can be your house, car, or swimming pool ETC. No matter if it were how to do a job or what would be the correct tool to use for the task in question. We have people on here of all skill levels, from the beginner to those who build additions on their houses. So never hesitate to ask what ever you might need to know because most likely somebody on the list will be able to help you out. The only question that can't be answered is the one that is never asked. This isn't really a gardening list although questions about lawn maintenance such as mowing and that sort of thing are perfectly fine. Nor is it a technical list relating to software questions, but repairing your computer's hardware is certainly right on topic. If you have any doubt whether a given post is on topic or not contact the moderator for approval. This is especially recommended if it's a post that contains advertising unless another member has previously requested the information. Also keep subject lines relevant to the contents of your post. Lastly if you know a given subject is off topic, then don't post it to the list. This list is a great place to gather ideas and exchange information on anything to do with being handy. So relax and enjoy.

Do you have a quick list of what are correct topics? We're a little confused about "correct topic" as we've seen several strange and seemingly off topics. i.e. "what is the difference between a sofa and davenport"? I'm just looking for some information about something that will help me use the computer without the aid of my sighted wife.
