Hi Jackie,
Different lists by different host services with different settings? If not then
a more technical bod than I would need to solve the riddle.
Best,
Clive

Hi Clive
It is fine. Interestingly, and as I have repeatedly said on this list, those
people whose messages come to me as blank from Access UK never do from BCAB!
Work that one out, (smile.)
Kind Regards,
Jackie Brown

Subject: [access-uk] RNIB Product Boycott (re-send)
Hello all, especially Derek,
Google has just tought me how I should be able to re-format individual messages
into plain text. So I'm re-sending as plain text. Please can anyone who
received my last message on RNIB Product as a blank, let me know whether this
one comes through with readable text, or whether it still seems blank.
Best,
Clive
Thanks,
Clive
Hello,
I find the idea disturbing, that blind people would be expected to raise funds
on the street for free, while sighted people would be paid for doing the same
thing. Is this not discrimination? There is a gratitude attitude coming in
here, I think, similar to the one in which some local societies have blind
volunteers and sighted employees sitting next to each other doing exactly the
same thing.
I also feel some disquiet at the RNIB's preoccupation with sight loss. This
doesn't mean I don't believe newly-blind people should get the support they
need and deserve. It means that I wonder how, if so many services related to
blindness but neither to sight loss prevention, nor to support for people when
they lose their sight are allowed to atrophy, what are the prospects for blind
people one or two years after initial sight loss, when they're getting to grips
with issues like: "Where can I find a watch or a washing machine I can use" and
the answers they receive are vague or blatantly
negative": "unfortunately we don't have anyone here who can help you any more".
Best,
Clive

Hi,
I'll keep this short as it is not the proper list to express these thoughts.
It infuriates me as many organisations like us to remain dependant, as it keeps
them in work... Also another pet gripe is organisations having VI people out
collecting in public areas, which is a bit like emotional blackmail, yet pay
fund raisers £30K+ per year as an employed staff member.
Rant over.
Mike

well personally I do not think you should be telling them in accurate
information I am of the opinion if you are going to have conversation about
your dog with the public you should be educating them.

Hi John
I just despair of these people and you are right you tell guide dogs
things and no notice is taken whatsoever because totally blind people
are in a minority they are just left on the shelf to disappear.

Hi Ian
I don't know if you read this newspaper but last week in the daily
mirror there was an article about an American woman who wanted to go
blind which infuriated me about as much as what you have written
has. There was also an advert about fifteen years ago done by
action for blind people that made us look totally helpless which
annoyed me as well. I don't buy the rnib's products as I think they
are poor quality most of the time. and when my year's subscription
is up I don't think I will renew it either.
Janet ps there are still letters at the bottom of your messages.

Subject: [access-uk] RNIB PRODUCT BOYCOTT
I am seriously considering boycotting what few RNIB products and
services I use - chiefly the electronic newspaper service - in
response to their latest ad campaign. There has been an item on
this at the end of today's edition of WATO. Celebs including
Barbara Windsor and Shirley Bassey are presented talking about the
idea of being told they're going blind. Bassey describes that
possibility as being "Devastating" and says she might as well be
told that she's going to die. Once again they have turned my
impairment into a thing of terror and me into an object of pity and
I've had enough of
