Alex, a sense of community needs to reside within each of it's
members; If not all members feel that sense, then you don't have a
community, you have splinter groups.
You can't force a community on those who aren't interested. <smile>
Now, in the basic sense, yes, we are all members of this email
list, which stands for something. In this case, it stands for
'general discussions on all topics related to the use of Mac OS 10 by
the blind' so that is the community banner as it were. <smile>
Other than that, there are differing ideas of what people might
consider apropos and not everyone may agree, which is why the list
guidelines are so important. If people want a chat list with no
particular direction, or focus then that's cool; there are many lists
out there like that. this one, however, is a discussion list for Mac
matters.
Shouldn't the focus stay in that general direction?…
Smiles,
Cara :)

HI,
WE are a community, and a community doesn't put indeviduals down. We
should take every person for who they are. We need to stick together
or we shall fail.
Crist, the choice is yours, but I personally hope that you don't
leave.
Thanks for listening,

How many of yall want me to stay and how many want me to get the
hell off the list. I'm obviously a bother to David, and a lot of
others of you. Would you rather that I leave? I'm willing to
stay, but I don't wanna cause any hardship and I don't wanna cause
trouble amongst the list. If it isn't advantageous me being on
the list, and if none a my posts are worth a cent or two, then let
me know. I'm not afraid a leaving. I only want all you all to be
happy. And, if leaving means what has to happen, to make that so,
then, so be it.
Yall let me know.

You all will determine at this point. Shall I leave, or shall I
stay. My final decision will be posted by 8 tonight at the
latest, if not hopefully sooner.
Chris.
