[stylist] For all STYLIST Members

[James Canaday M.A. N6YR]

no,
politics don't belong here.

but most of the recent traffic on this list has, I believe, been on 
blindness related topics.

as a result of posting my comments about my doctor's insulin 
paternalism, I received a wonderful note from another list member 
posted offlist.  and because of that I learned some.  so, talking 
with blind people about blindness topics is often a good thing.

yes, I'll look forward to the new list and hope Alan has no trouble 
setting it up.
