[Blindmath] This week on Eyes On Success: Accessibility at Google

Wed Dec 17 20:14:20 UTC 2014

Everyone,

As the list moderator, I admit that The previous post from Eyes Upon Success could have been said to be marginally 
on topic regarding tablets, but in my opinion that was just luck.  They send a weekly promotion to a number of 
NFBNET lists including this one.  On some lists, their promotion is not off topic, but it is off topic on this 
list.  If they have a show that deals very specifically with math, we would likely forward it to this list to make 
that show known.  They produce a good show, but we have asked that they not post there promotion to this list every 
week, and we'll likely have to ask them again.  .  We try to keep posts here on topic and also to keep traffic low 
to respect the time of the numerous professionals who subscribe here.  However, it only makes matters wors if we 
have an additional half dozen messages debating if a message is on topic or not.  The off topic message has now 
been overshadowed by the subsequent discussion.  If you think a message is off topic or if you disagree with a 
decision that a message was off topic, please write to me privately.  Your help is necessary to keep this a 
meaningful list.

Best regards,

Steve Jacobson
