Hi Allison, Your honesty is appreciated here. I am on about 4 lists, and while I'd like to stay on each, something has to go. I now receive over 200 messages per day, most from these lists, among them the BrailleNote list. I can no longer participate as I once did, as I'm overrun with e-mail. E-mail is a great tool, but it's become for me a real detriment because of the shere volume of it. While I appreciate the concerns over the NFB controversy, it, like other topics has been over done and contributes to the massive amounts of e-mail. If I leave this or any other list, it will be for similar reasons that you articulated quite well. Best Regards,

When I joined the list, I was told it was a list that shares tips and tricks and answers questions. I realize that questions get answered and tips get exchanged, and some of my questions have been answered, which I appreciate. However, recently, two questions that I remember sending never got a response. I could accept that if they were highly technical, but they weren't. Over the last few weeks, time has been taken talking about the Braillenot's shortcomings, debating the whole NFB discount wisdom, and frankly, I've had enough. If I'd wanted a discussion list, I would have joined one. Does Braillenote have its shortcomings, of course. Almost any device has things that aren't perfect. But I think it's wonderful, and I think PDI is more responsive to customers than a lot of other places. I'm sure I'm not the only one frustrated with the list, but I can call tech support if I really need help, without being on the list and having to wade through all the discussion. Yes, I know I can delete and I do, but if this is what the list has predominantly become, I'm not interested in participating.
