I think we have gone back to what we should be, but that's up to you.  Ashley, I tried to create one on the Google server yesterday, but I was using my BrailleNote, and it wanted me to solve a kapcha.  So I'll have to recreate it on my computer and ask a sighted person to read the kapcha to me, which is annoying.  There is an audio kapcha, but it's not very good.  You can't understand it.  I wish they'd follow the Twitter model, and just write the characters into the Web site, so we can read them without some picture.  Then you could copy and paste the characters into the form field or write them in.  Once I create the list, I will send an invitation via Google Groups to those of you who have said they would be interested in such a list, and will post a separate message here (if I am allowed to) so anybody else can subscribe.
