Why would you assume you were going to make us mad? This fellow was asking
for techniques. You gave him yours.

Hello,

So I'm probably going to piss off a few NFB'ers right now, and I
really don't care. I can navigate a line just fine on my own. I feel
the person in front of me with my cane, I hear them moving, or I
engage in a conversation with them in order to know when they move. If
I use the third option, when i get to the buffet I utilize their help
with the line. If not, then I ask someone around me or if anyone is up
there I ask them. I can blunder around, I can feel with a wooden spoon
or ladel or whateverand guess by what I feel as to what's there, but I
prefer to do it iwth help because it flows much smoother.

Thanks.
