Hi, Roselle. I sure hope you aren't posting because someone bashed you on
the list. What a shame to lose someone like you with your expertise. I have
gotten bashed a few times myself, but I am not going to let some ignorant
or unfeeling persson stop me from sharing what I know. It sounded like you
were leaving because of others. What a shame. I certainly hope not.
I have a folder with all of your priceless messages saved.
Please resonsider if it is because of bashing or unkindness of some person.

Hi All,
Yes, there's no mistake about the subject line. This is going to be my
final post. That means I won't be posting to this list for an indefinite
period. Maybe months, maybe a year, or longer, I can't say. But starting
March 8, or at least after this message is distributed, I cannot and will
not post to the BN list.
That's why I had been doing my best these past couple of days to answer
the questions posted here, and to share the things that I said I would be
sharing with all of you but had procrastinated until the last minute,
<sheepish grin>. Sorry about that. Of course I don't really have to tell
you guys about this, but I felt I needed to do so to make sure no wrong
impressions/suspicions are formed.
First of all, I will still be subscribed to the BN list and will be able
to read messages, but will not respond. Thus, for those who are happy to
hear about my leaving, do not rejoice too much because you still cannot
bash me on this list and get away with it, <smirk>. I may or may not
answer privately the questions posted to this list because I will be busy
with other things, but if a thread gets out-of-hand because a problem
remains unsolved, this may catch my attention and if I have anything to
offer, I will take the risk of answering off-list, but my message will be
sent only to the people concerned.
Such messages that have the chance of getting a private reply from me are
those about technical problems, not about product features and new
marketing policies, or the occasional philosophical arguments. The reply
will also not come promptly because only when no one has answered the
question properly or adequately, and only if I have something to correct
or add will I write to the person posing the question.
However, if people on this list will write to me privately, then as I have
always done, I will answer your questions, whether or not they are
BrailleNote-related, and especially if they start with something like, "Oh
most beautiful and sexiest Roselle", LOL. If people see me on the other
mailing lists I'm part of, please do not sneak a BN question and expect me
to answer it. Just send it in a private message, and unless I'm sick or
extremely busy (which is the best alibi in the universe), I will try to
reply as soon as possible.
All I ask is that you try to post the question on this list first, and see
if there are any who could help, and I'm confident there will be someone
who will know the right answer. If and only if you do not get a
satisfactory response, and you really want to bug me or maybe just drop a
note to say hi, then e-mail me the question/s, although I am not promising
that I can always offer a better answer than what you will already get
from this list.
Second, please note the new e-mail address I am using. It's
[EMAIL PROTECTED] and you need to update your contacts list or address
book with this change if you already have an entry for my name. Some of
you still write to me at my old address which I still can check but that
account will not be around for so long.
Third, I want to assure everyone that this turn of event is NOT because I
have any personal problems with PDI as a company, and with anyone from PDI
for that matter, or with any member of this mailing list. Oh yeah, and I
also did not get pregnant out of wedlock, nor am I getting married in the
near future, or any other intriguing issues you can conjure up as being
the reason for my not posting anymore, <laugh>. I am still a BrailleNote
user and as of the moment, have no plans of selling my BrailleNote and
will follow the development of Keysoft by getting the latest upgrades.
No, I did not lose my fingers, and being the internet/e-mail addict that I
am, I will surely learn to use my toes for typing and reading Braille if
ever such a terrible thing happened (knock on wood). I just need to stop
posting.
For other BN list members who have an e-mail correspondence with me and
know that I am part of other mailing lists, don't worry, I'm still writing
e-mails and posting elsewhere; this change only applies here. BTW, for
those who are also members of the mailing list I own and moderate, yes, I
will be posting this week, whether you believe it or not,
<wink>. Speaking of that list, those who want to join that general
discussion list for blind people all over the world, send a blank e-mail
to [EMAIL PROTECTED] or drop me a note telling me that
you want to join and I'll sign you up. Everyone is welcome, considering
that I can always kick out anyone I want, too, LOL, which fortunately I
had no need to do so far.
Lastly, those who are still expecting mail from me, with some files I said
I'll send them like the consolidated BT-QT command summary, multilingual
tables, the grade 3 Braille code, and database instructions, I will still
send them when I'm through writing them. Thanks for your patience.
Well, enough of my ramblings. I'll see you around in cyberspace.
Best regards and goodbye for now,
Roselle
