[Ohio-Talk] The Ohio list

[Barbara Pierce]

I am very glad that Richard reprinted the description of the Ohio list. I am personally grateful that the list is as active as it is. I would be lost without the information and notices that we get on it. But I must admit that I get over a hundred messages a day, and I am very happy when these reminders come of ways that we can cut down on the traffic on our list. I am very pleased to know about losses and worries of members of our Organization. I personally believe in the power of prayer, and I try to pray for everyone for whom prayers are requested. But I wonder if it would be a good idea if people included their own or the person being talked about could include their email address. Maybe the author could agree to collect and pass along messages. In this way we can respond off list to requests or even joys that people have announced. If you want to respond to a request or announcement about something not having to do with blindness, please respond off list to the person writing the  message. It is certainly not appropriate for us to proselytize or urge personal political points of view to others on our list. Please keep these reminders in mind when you are considering sending messages that are not specifically about blindness or the NFB.

Thank you,
Barbara

The National Federation of the Blind knows that blindness is not the characteristic that defines you or your future. Every day we raise expectations for blind people because low expectations create obstacles between blind people and their dreams. You can live the life you want; blindness is not what holds you back.
