Hi Drew;
What I am about may be a little harsh, so please take it in stride.  I joind
the list about 3 years ago.  I was a little shi so I did not write for a
while.  I finally got the curage to write and now I write when ever I have a
question or can help someone.  I am proud to sign my name.  Just because I
am blind, is no reason to hide my name.  My name is a part of me.  People,
when receiving e-mails, want to know who they are communicating with.  They
do not want to communicate with a brick wall.  I looked at your most recent
message and saw you had not put your name so I chose to write this note.  I
would think my question, yesterday, would have helped.

unsigned

How did you like getting an unsigned e-mail?  How would you like it if all
your e-mails were unsigned?  You would not know who was writing to you
accept by guessing from the e-mail address.  If I want to address you, do
you think I am going to hunt for this e-mail every time.  No way!  
You can only suggest to man, man has to make the move.  
If you do not grow up and act like a man and sign your name, people are
going to delete your e-mail, like me.  I would not be surprised if many
follow in my foot steps.
We are here to help eachother not hide from eachother.

Terry Powers
