Hi Adrian,

I'm not so scared of FS or anyone else in this industry that I would even 
consider backing down.  I am serious and sincerely believe in this 
initiative.  I don't know if it will make any difference or not, but it is 
worth a try.  I have received criticism from only a small handful of people, 
yet there are 204 signatures to the petition at this time, so I feel as 
though I am still on the right track, at least with a segment of the blind 
community.

Darrell,

If I understand correctly, you're the one who made the legal complaint
accessible, for which you deserve great credit.  It's a useful document and
helped me understand the issues.

I respect your point about grassroots campaigning. But you've received
sufficient criticism of this particular effort that you ought to give it
second thoughts. Your argument to Bruce just now about "apparently" is so
specious that it shows you're determined on your course. I wish it weren't
so. For someone with so much initiative inside him, you could channel your
efforts to truly constructive causes. This one is in vain and, though you
don't accept it, you will only make FS more skeptical about why they should
bother responding to us as customers.

Hi Adrian,

The only thing that is public knowledge thus far is the initial complaint,
which would quite likely remain inaccessible to this day were it not for the
work put into conversion and reformatting. In some cases, it is important to
get a grass-roots advocacy effort started early. Sometimes, that happens
before *all* the information we would like to know has become available. I
am quite confident that, no matter what comes out later, a petition to
simply ask FS to stop the action they are taking will remain relevant.
