I remember now why I left this list and only came back recently.
the number of useful emails had decreased and there were so many nasty
comments sent out and so many fluffy emails with virtually no content related
to the important topic of iPhones and the uses for the blind.
Can we please get some moderator input or even better some participant curtesy.
And, thank you to all those that stopped using curse words in your subjects
after my last email requesting some decorum.
With regard to this topic, yes the classes with regard to uses with the blind
and iPhone are on topic for this list. But, there is nothing wrong with
someone setting up a separate list, and I’m on one of those lists and have
enjoyed the information there.
Can we return to a helpful and respectful list now.?
