No. You're not missing anything. That's a good point. I shd've seen that before. You're right. We can't ask them or demand (or whatever word you wanna put there) that they change their policies just for us. It isn't fair for everybody else. And in a way, it's not fair to us because then getting disability related exceptions promotes the sympathy factor that we all get because we're blind. So it builds bad character. Besides, don't we all want to be independent? If we do, we have to show that we're capable of gaining independence. And this is one of them.

If the service is valuable to you, why not follow the instructions laid out in the message from Skweezer, instead of asking them to make exceptions just because you use their service? Basically, you are saying that you wish to continue to use something for free because it is useful, yet that very popularity is likely why they needed to monetize the service in the first place. Am I missing something here? I don't wish to offend anyone, I just fail to see the logic of asking for a now paid service to remain free because you use that service.

Dear BrailleNote Users,This morning I received a message about skweezer no long being free for us to use. I sent them an email and have not yet received a response. I think more people from this list should email them. Tell them how valuable it is to blind users. I use Skweezer to access my gmail account. Please respond as soon as possible.
