Hello all, Ian Macrae has written to me saying he's been trying to post to the list but messages haven't been getting through. The Guardian asked him to write an article taking the contrary position to that of the article which sparked this discussion. Ironically, I received his message shortly after writing to say that a follow-up article might be needed. That piece duly appeared today and you can read it at: http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2014/may/22/braille-golden-age-blind-people-technology Best regards, Clive ** To leave the list, click on the immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe] ** If this link doesn't work then send a message to: ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ** and in the Subject line type ** unsubscribe ** For other list commands such as vacation mode, click on the ** immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=faq] ** or send a message, to ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the Subject:- faq
