Who needs the other group's Braille forum, when the Braille Monitor serves the same purpose?

That definitely got my attention as well, but I think it's a very good thing.

I may not always agree with a certain newspaper's editorial
perspective, but it doesn't mean I don't want to have it available to
me as a resource.

Best,
Brian M
