[nabs-l] Using Blio

[Kirt Manwaring]

James and all,
  I have to appologize.  I made quite a few generalizations that were
wrong based on one bad experience.  And, I didn't have the
accessibility mode turned on.  So I hope my post was constructive, but
I was angry at the time and spoke very much out of turn, after making
some assumptions that were just silly.  Next time, I'll double check
before I make bold claims like that.
  Best,
Kirt
