Steve and Barry,
I agree with many of your points and definitely feel that it is polite, and
indeed desirable, to get the permission of the list owner or moderator
before advertising any list.
Like all things, common sense is advisable. We don't want to end up with
lists about lists about lists.

Hi David,
But general things like Twitter can be asked about on here. The BookSense
has its own list, because some very technical issues can be discussed there,
that could get off topic for this list. There is not much technical about
Twitter.
But I do take your point in one way, however, you could end up with so many
list that the experts you talk about, won't have time to populate them all.
All the best
Steve

I find this rather a strange discussion.
If I was interested in twitter, or any other access technology or computer
related issue, the first thing I would do would be to go onto Whitestick or
something similar and see if I could find a twitter list for the blind. If
I could not, then I might well ask on this list.
I notice that the more computer savvy members of this list are very much
against lists for each subject, probably because they themselves do not need
to use them, being confident in their own abilities to sort out any problems
they may have. I feel it should be pointed out that some of us are not
experts, we just get along as best we can, asking for help as and when we
need to. For people such as me, such lists are a great help. Most of the
items made specifically for the visually impaired have their own list, in
fact Steve runs one of them himself. So, what I am really saying is that
lists are fine for those who need them. Others can just choose not to join.
Finally, if there is any place where a list relating to technical issues for
the fisually impaired or equipment connected with visual impairment could be
advertised, then surely it is this list.

I read with interest what you say to Steve. Sadly I had very little
response to my Facebook query. This was disappointing indeed. One person
suggested if I would tab around I would find out what was on the page. I
had hoped that perhaps there would have been a facebook user on the list who
could actually inform me of the layout of a page as I know I can tab around.
that was somewhat missing the point of my question. I would have hoped then
to go on to further questions. Of course if you feel that there any members
of the list who might assist me I can re-post my questions again.
