I just hope that the moderators of this list will let this topic be an exception for once as in a way people travel the world especially to exhibitions of access technology and for once we have had a discussion of how the world is. If the moderators feel that we have done something wrong in discussing this matter then the spirit of this list will be diminished. This was a historical decision so if the moderators wish to comment then they can do so and if they wish to take our rights away by putting those of us on notification that our membership is to be taken away then this list will be poorer.
The moderators can get in touch with me privately if they wish to do this so as not to have this discussion on this list as I know people won’t like it and they will complain. Those of you who do not like what is said, then by all means press the delete key and move on.
