John,
thanks for the info on these other lists. I definitely will check them out.
I don't see any reason to unsub from the other list, but we'll discuss this
off list if needed. Just because I don['t post much, it is a resourceful
list. I just felt I didn't get very many replies aside from one member and
I have his/her e-mail address and skype info, so it's not like I couldn't
just call them or write them privately, which is what I've been doing. I'm
on Mac4theBlind, but I'm more of a lerker there, none the less. Hope that's
OK. If not though, talk to me off list about it as there isn't a need to
bore others with that personal part of the list, I'd not think.
Anyways, my e-mail address is:
[email protected]
If that doesn't work, then try me at:
[email protected]
Either address should reach me just fine.
Chris.

As the owner of mac4theblind, just to clarify this misconception, the
list is intended to be small and low traffic. It gets the job done for
those who are subscribed, and there is no pretenses made of it trying to be
an alternative to any other list out there. If it doesn't do the job for
you, you are more than welcomed to unsubscribe or I can do it for you.
As other lists out there, there is the Mac VoiceOver list run through
http://www.icanworthisthing.com
There is also,as mentioned, the Mac-access list.
http://www.mac-access.net
There are probably others out there as well, but those come to mind off
the top of my head.
In time, though, as people become more familiar with Lion, this list will
settle down and return more towards the helpful and smooth-running list we
are used to being a part of.
Take Care

He's probably talking about Mac4theblind. I'm on it, but I almost never
post there. Not because I can't do so, it's just I felt I really wasn't
getting near the help on that list that I have and still am getting on
this list. I don't think that they're many members on the other list,
actually. I know Sarah Alowami's there, and maybe like 10 or 20 others
that regularly post. Trust me, it's really not worth it in my personal
opinion. Again though, that's only my opinion. If you'd like, Ronald, I
can try to find the subscription info for you. I make no guarantees. I
know a friend of mine had to help me with finding the sub info, but again,
if you would like to subscribe, I'll be more than happy to try to figure
out the address to do so.
Aside that list and the VIPhone list, those are the only lists I know of.
Apparently there is also a maccessibility list, but I've never admittedly
tried looking upo the info.
I'll bet you it's probably on
maccessibility.net
though.
You want me to take a look for ya?
Let me know. glad to help, if I can.
Chris.

Hi.
If you like strictness, you should subscribe to the other Mac list and I
can tell you that there are so many guide lines, you can't not talk about
anything unless its Mac related.
I quit that list and am glad for this list and the relaxed aproach it has
as it was stuffy before so I came off it. Its much better than the other
list.

Hi Ron:
It is very much like a free for all. There is one owner, Cara, Quinn
and one moderator, Mark Taylor. There are no guidelines in place,
because according to Mark Taylor there were hundreds of complaints about
how the group was being moderated. Therefore, in the interest of those
hundreds of alleged complaints and the people who made them, a very
positive, almost anything goes approach has been adopted.
Personally, I would prefer a more guided approach, with a
semi-professional ambiance/. But, I'm just a list member now, and I
guess most don't prefer the same approach I do.:)
Take care

Hi,
It is becoming evident to me that this list has turned into a
free-for-all. I am reading more and more mails that don't have much to
do with Mac accessibility but apple in general.
I bought my first Mac in February and joined the list because I wanted
input from those who have been in the apple arena for a while.
However, I am considering leaving the list because of its current
direction.
Please post the guidelines and let me know if I am mistakenin any way.
In the Journey,
Ron
