[nabs-l] Forum for discussing social/emotional issues with other blind folks

[Elizabeth Mohnke]

Hello Arielle,

I think this is a good idea if there is anyone who is interested in setting 
it up. If the list is private then I think that would create a better place 
for people to be more free to discuss personal issues.

I honestly do not have a problem with people discussing personal issues in 
general. However, as someone who is older than most people on this list who 
has had personal information about me on the internet used against me, I 
sometimes really wonder about the judgment of those who are willing to post 
anything and everything about them for the whole world to see.

So yes, a more private email list would definitely be a good idea.

Elizabeth
