[blindLaw] List of Traps and Solutions

[Gerard Sadlier]

James, Laura

Thank you both. Please include me. I think having a document on the
internet somewhere is a good idea, it may even be worth updating it
from time to time, since sadly technology won't stand still.

I'm not sure how much I will have to add but will do my best.

Kind regards

Ger
