I agree, it does!

opportunity, blindness can be reduced to a mere physical 
nuisance."

I should have read the original E-mail closer.
The financial endependence point still stands.

 Arielle,
 It's because we're both blind.  She's legally blind and I'm
 totally
 blind.

 Chris and all,
 With all due respect, it's possible that the reason Koby's
 parents
 don't want him to date this girl is because of his blindness,
 hers or
 both, so it could be blindness-related.  Also, this is a list 
for
 blind
 students, so we discuss blindness stuff but we also discuss
 student
 stuff-and decisions about moving out, college, careers, dealing
 with
 parents etc.  is very much a student issue.
 I understand you were just trying to be helpful, but to reduce
 clutter
 on the list, it's best to let NABS officers or the list
 moderators
 make judgments about what is on or off-topic.  Otherwise, we
 could end
 up with fifty emails back and forth debating about what is on or
 off
 topic, and the whole point of staying on-topic is to reduce the
 number
 of messages.  (And so this will be my only post on the matter).
 Best,
 Arielle-former list chair and former NABS president

is.
  If there's a general chat list out there or a dating list or
  something like that, you could try that, but I wouldn't post
 this
  to a list at all; maybe you could try posting it to your
 Facebook
  page or something like that.

  Hi Koby,

  Wow! Sorry I can't help you here; I'll just say this.  I don't
  think this question is really blindness-related, as the fact
 that
  your parents don't want you to see your girlfriend has nothing
 to
  do with your blindness.  So, I don't think this is a good list
  for it.  Just my opinion!
