I want to add that I really appreciate Rhonda's helpfulness on this list. Though I've had my braille note for several years, I've never yet used it to its full potential, using it more for simple note taking, beginning papers, recipes, calendar and address book. I want to be able to use it more fully. for instance, I expect to be traveling to some job interviews in the near future, away from my PC. I'd like to learn how to use the email function and have loads of questions about it. But early in my time here on the list, someone answered me sharply a couple times, when they thought I asked a dumb question, so I just quit asking and read the messages. I also read the manual. LOL. i've learned a lot from Rhonda's posts, as well as learning from others too. I appreciate the people on this list who are so willing to help the rest of us. I'm darn good with a PC and on other lists, I'm helpful and want to assist people when I have answers. But here, I'm probably not even at the intermediate stage. So, thanks to Rhonda and everyone who doesn't mind helping the rest of us. after all, that's why we are all here, to learn and to help each other. someday, it will be my turn to help someone else with a question that I can answer.

You can't put it any better than this! I don't need to tell you that you belong here more than those who said you didn't! I hope you won't let them discourage you! You're a valuable resource.

I've noticed this a lot, I have been written about on this list telling me of my many errors, I've even had the pleasure of people writing to me off-list asking me to stay off the list. No matter how many "smiles and grins" we put in when we say something mean, the sting of those words are still the same. You can't ever take those stinging words away. One day, we will all need help; maybe not on the list, but in some other circumstance.

Whether Terry was or was not right to ask for the commands, she certainly deserved a kinder answer than the rude one she received. What, is she a ten-year-old? No, she's an adult, like everyone else on this list. She had just as much of a right to ask her question as anyone, without being given an answer, calculated to make her feel about two inches tall. You know, when you get right down to it, most questions, asked on the list, can be found in the manual! Maybe, we should eliminatethe list! Actually, I don't want to eliminate the list; just the rudeness. If you don't think a question is warranted or legitimate, don't answer it. You don't have to rake someone over the coals. This list has taught me a lot, but, by golly, I'll unsubscribe, if this rudeness doesn't stop!! I hope it doesn't come to that! Thank you. God bless.
