Hi Mark!
Thanks for all you do for us on this great list.
I am on some other lists but i must say that this is the one that is best 
moderated.
Maybe one of the linux lists but there’s not much chattering on such lists.

Hello Everyone,

In an age of political correctness, it's gotten so that I'm almost afraid to 
wish anyone a Merry Christmas so I'll just say that I hope you all had a 
pleasant December 25th and are enjoying your holiday season.

As for me, I had a very pleasant Christmas, this year.

I want you all to know that I found myself thinking about you, today.  Many, 
many of your names came to mind as I was enjoying my Christmas dinner; 
wondering how your day was going, hoping you were happy, etc.

If it were possible, I would have given all of you a Christmas hug and told you 
how greatful I am that you and I are in this world at the same time.  

Being visually impaired is never easy even when some days go by more easily 
than others.  

Be that as it may, I want you to know that it helps me a great deal to know 
that I do not struggle with my visual challenges alone; that somewhere out 
there, you are with me in spirit.  

As I have said on many occasions, we, you and I are brothers and sisters on 
this path of accessability exploration and expansion and for that, I am truly 
grateful.

Okay, I'll step down off of my proverbial soapbox and return you to your 
regularly scheduled email posting (smile).

Your Brother on the Path,

Mark

Dear Mark,

Thank you for such an honest and open message.  It’s good to acknowledge that 
not all is sweet, and it’s even better to know that we have one another on this 
path.  And I applaud the previous person who in an unabashed way wished 
everyone simply merry Christmas, for that’s what it is for some of us.  And I 
hope for others too, who may express it differently or not at all.  So merry 
Christmas again!

Hey Mark,

Thanks so much for your upbeat Christmas note.  

I would just like to let you know how much I appreciate the way you moderate 
the list and your sensitivity in your answers to people’s questions.

Like in many countries here in Europe, the 26th is also a holiday.  In the 
interest of not offending my family, I’ll keep my comments short and go enjoy 
our family Christmas brunch.
  
Again, merry Christmas and thanks for moderating a great list!

Hello Everyone,

In an age of political correctness, it's gotten so that I'm almost afraid to
wish anyone a Merry Christmas so I'll just say that I hope you all had a
pleasant December 25th and are enjoying your holiday season.

As for me, I had a very pleasant Christmas, this year.

I want you all to know that I found myself thinking about you, today.  Many,
many of your names came to mind as I was enjoying my Christmas dinner;
wondering how your day was going, hoping you were happy, etc.

If it were possible, I would have given all of you a Christmas hug and told
you how greatful I am that you and I are in this world at the same time.  

Being visually impaired is never easy even when some days go by more easily
than others.  

Be that as it may, I want you to know that it helps me a great deal to know
that I do not struggle with my visual challenges alone; that somewhere out
there, you are with me in spirit.  

As I have said on many occasions, we, you and I are brothers and sisters on
this path of accessability exploration and expansion and for that, I am
truly grateful.

Okay, I'll step down off of my proverbial soapbox and return you to your
regularly scheduled email posting (smile).

Your Brother on the Path,

Mark

RE: From Moderator Mark: I just Want You All To Know

2017-12-25 Thread myguidedogis 
Mark, on another list racism started to creep in.  The topic died down, and 
sadly the moderator resurrected it by his insecurities.  Then perhaps realizing 
he made a mistake by adding his comments, he closed the thread.  I just 
thought, if you'd kept your nose out of it, the topic would have died, and no 
conflagration would have happened.  What's my point? I appreciate your 
moderation of stepping in when necessary and letting things die went left 
alone.  The old proverbial drop of gas on the dying embers came into play on 
the other computer list.

Subject: From Moderator Mark: I just Want You All To Know

Hello Everyone,

In an age of political correctness, it's gotten so that I'm almost afraid to 
wish anyone a Merry Christmas so I'll just say that I hope you all had a 
pleasant December 25th and are enjoying your holiday season.

As for me, I had a very pleasant Christmas, this year.

I want you all to know that I found myself thinking about you, today.  Many, 
many of your names came to mind as I was enjoying my Christmas dinner; 
wondering how your day was going, hoping you were happy, etc.

If it were possible, I would have given all of you a Christmas hug and told you 
how greatful I am that you and I are in this world at the same time.  

Being visually impaired is never easy even when some days go by more easily 
than others.  

Be that as it may, I want you to know that it helps me a great deal to know 
that I do not struggle with my visual challenges alone; that somewhere out 
there, you are with me in spirit.  

As I have said on many occasions, we, you and I are brothers and sisters on 
this path of accessability exploration and expansion and for that, I am truly 
grateful.

Okay, I'll step down off of my proverbial soapbox and return you to your 
regularly scheduled email posting (smile).

Your Brother on the Path,

Mark
