[nabs-l] My official rant thread!

[Joshua Lester]

Unfortunately, we don't have one.
DeWitt is a small town, population 3300, (it used to be 3500.)
Blessings, Joshua

Hi, all,
  First...while I'm not above swearing sometimes, I think we ought to
take at least a little thought to how we present ourselves on a public
listserve with online archives anybody can read.  I don't intend to
pretend that I'm a moderator but I think we should be careful about
how we say things in a public venue.
  That said, I do understand your frustration.  I had an ATM without
speech on my college campus and, fortunately, it was updated pretty
soon after I moved in without me really doing anything.  Perhaps your
city has an ADA compliance officer who you could get in touch with?
  Best,
Kirt
