[nfbcs] Corrupt User Profile

[Ian C. Bray via nfbcs]

I would tend to agree-- A corrupted user profile
isn't something that a normal user would know how to fix-- or even determine 
was the
real cause of the problem.

Passing over a thread on a listserv isn't that hard to do-- I believe
that if you can run a unix box, and do web development, and are a collegiate 
level computer
science student that you should know how to proceed with being bothered by 
the messages.

""Computer Science" is a widely involved classification.
Perhaps someone should investigate starting a New Listserv
where those interested in Higher Level and Programming  Matters
could discuss their problems & questions-- Rather than support the community 
of
Blind individuals who are apparently doing the best they can.
