If they say they want responses, perhaps then rather than now would be time
to start head counting. To my knowledge, they are not checking out how
many people will miss the existence of web braille. Mr. C. has maintained
that he is fixing a security issue. I personally choose to wait a bit and
give him the benefit of believing he is telling the truth. Call me naive,
or tactful (something I am rarely called) or patient (also something I am
rarely called).

Hi Sarah,
A petition is not a tantrum. And if Web Braille does not return in a few weeks, and NLS says that they didn't receive enough interested response, where are we then?
I have no problem if you disagree with those who signed the petition, but when you attach a pejorative label to their actions, it feels like a personal attack. Is there really a need for that?

I am not signing anything until I see more details from NLS regarding why Web-Braille was shut down. For all I know, there could be very good reasons related to computer security. All the things I've heard about .brf sharing have so far been hearsay, and I don't make a habit of buying into hearsay no matter who tells me. I won't be signing the petition, haven't written to Judy or Kurt, and I'll see what transpires in a few weeks. Of course, in a few weeks if Web-braille comes back as it naturally would have because NLS was already working on it, the tantrum-throwers will believe their tantrums worked; and they'll do it again next time something doesn't go their way.
