About the group hug, I could not help remembering the end of this [1] video (it has English subtitles) while writing the other email :-) Kind regards, Daniel [1] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dkgvOA55JZ8 signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature

Please, no group "hugs" among friends I haven't met yet. ;-) Let's wait until we know each other better. ;-) Lisi

You prefer those with problems to just shut up and let everyone flow freely? I had asked Steve to help me. I did it on list because I am unlikely to be the only one affected. Steve has complied. I am not grouchy. Grouchy is when I delete things for being illegible, not when I ask for help in reading them. Steve himself cannot see. I thought (hoped) that he might be sympathetic and helpful to others with visual handicaps. I was right. He has helped. Lisi
Re: OT - gap -Re: Using bind mount
Whoa folks, let's apply the brakes. The fact is, if you think about it, Lisi is quite correct, but for a reason she may not even realize. Visually impaired people, at least those of us whose visual impairment is to the point where we don't use print at all, don't hear in paragraphs, but anybody who deals with information input via the mechanism of sight, does. I freely admit that sometimes I forget this, too, and write run-on paragraphs that should be broken into smaller segments, which I'm quite happy to do in order to accommodate those photo-dependent (ha ha) among us who need such things. In short, it's nothing to fight about or be over-sensitive about. -End-

Debian comes from precisely that freedom. So let's try to be a "little" more tolerant and let's relax, focusing on help to others rather than telling them how they should express. Let's try to keep the inner peace and regulating our emotions :-) So now let's give yourseves a big hug with "gzip -9" factor :-D Best regards, Daniel signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature

One or two of your earlier ones I just gave up on. Thank you very much. Lisi

I don't!! I am forced to use vocabulary that people might understand. My husband needs *sound* broken up. My only blind computer programmer friend can process sound at a speed at which I cannot even make out words. It isn't that I need paragraphs. I need breaks, spaces - in the middle of sentences will do. If things are too close together, I just can't see them. They run into each other and jumble up. Find Nemo is a non-starter!! > I freely admit > that sometimes I forget this, too, and write run-on paragraphs that > should be broken into smaller segments, which I'm quite happy to do in > order to accommodate those photo-dependent (ha ha) among us who need > such things. > In short, it's nothing to fight about or be > over-sensitive about. Of course not! I wasn't moaning or criticising - I wanted to read what you had written and asked whether you could accommodate me. You asked what I meant - and we ended up here. For the record, this block of text, before I broke it up to answer, was difficult for me. But this whole conversation has made me realise something else I can do to my email client for special cases. So it has been useful to me. > -End- ;-) And please, no group "hugs" among strangers. ;-) Lisi

That may not have been for my benefit, but was what I was talking about. Between the smiley and the word "Now" there is a nice big gap. If you could break larger paragraphs up with more of those it would be very helpful. Lisi
