Hi Eleanor,
That may be so, but this list, I believe, is for Access Technology, which of
course, would not include guide dogs, unless they were electronic ones
<Smile>.
All the best

Subject: [access-uk] Guide Dog Matters
I agree with regard to people having the same interest that a Guide Dog list
can provide help and support. However, I wonder if in this particular case,
the gentleman was wanting to target a wider audience of visually impaired
people and especially those without guide dogs too and even sighted members.
I know we have now dealt with the topic on this occasion as it would appear
the gentleman in question is going to receive the support he requires and
that is good and I am sure we would all want to wish him well.
Eleanor
