[nfbcs] November 08 on-line training seminars

Fri Oct 31 11:17:24 UTC 2008

Good morning Peter,

This will be my last post on this thread.  I started it foolishly and 
apologize.

"    And then he wonders why he's unable to land meaningful employment due 
to inadequate blindness and computer skills. You can only cheap your way 
through life so much. If you expect to go further you as a blind person must 
pay your dues just as anyone else including paying for top-quality 
training."

I apologized for the way in which I responded to the original message, 
because I recognized that it was inappropriate and hasty.  Can I request 
that you do the same?

Since you do not know me or anything about my background, including to what 
degree I have experienced vision loss or how much training I have had in 
computer science or independent living skills, I'm not sure how you can make 
such a claim.

Thank you,
Everett
