Great!

It hasn't been moderated since last night.

Hi Ashley,

I agree.  Dave, I would encourage you to look at the posts in the
next couple days, then decide whether you still really think we 
need
to be on owner status.  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.

All,
I also wish we had a list for politics.
Chris, I'd join if you set one up.  I'm glad David replied to 
Joshua's
proposal so we have an answer.  We know it cannot be set up on 
the nfbnet
server, but we could use google.

I'm sure we can get back on track.  It was happening already.

Ashley

Hi Joshua,

I'd be willing to help you.  I have a name for it already,
blind-politics! I know how to create a Google Group, and can do 
that
for you.  Of course, though, that would put me as the moderator, 
so if
you'd rather be the moderator, I can tell you how to do it.
Please
write me off list.

Chris

Thank you for taking charge in bringing this email list back to 
where it
should be.  However, I am also wondering why none of the current 
board
members have not done anything publically to steer the list back 
in the
right direction.  Is it typical for you to moderate this list on 
your own,
or
is there generally someone designated by the board to help you in 
this
matter as well? Any clarification you can provide on this matter 
would be
greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Elizabeth

The range and number of off topic messages here in the last week 
or so
has

been astounding.  Consequently, I have placed the whole list 
under
moderated status until they die out.  This means that each 
message has to
be approved by me.

This list exists to support nabs and state organizations of 
students and
for discussion of blindness-related student matters.  It is not 
for
political discussion, advertising internet radio stations, 
personal
messages etc.

And ...  please don't feel you should debate me about the purpose 
of the
list.  I am not trying to be harsh, just trying to get people 
back on
track.  When things stray too far, people start unsubscribing.

David Andrews, List Owner
