Hi, I know it is list policy not to send "me too" messages, but Vanja's
point below is one I have been wanting to make before. Could there be a
subjects guideline that if you want to talk about a program or issue, that
is all the subject line is. You don't even need to say help or advice or
question, because that is what the list is for, so it is meaningless. I tend
to delete messages with generic subject lines unless they have gone on for
ages and ages so there may well be times I could have helped that I haven't.
Also, there are guide dog lists, and vi-genaccess.
Cheers
Dave

To me it's not so much the subjects spelling as the subjects discussed. I
subscribed to this list to discuss access technology and accessibility of
the technology we use. I don't see how discussing guidedogs, for example, is
anything to do with that. I understand that people do need support and help
and people to talk to especially if they have some emotional or similar
problems, but there are lists for that, I assume there is a guidedog list
and probably others that are similar.
And while we're discussing subject line another thing I would like to turn
my attention to is subjects that are not very specific. It would be nice if
people could at least give some sort of indication in their subject line
what they are discussing, rather than generic things like help please, or I
need advice. For example, someone might have a subject line just saying help
please and they want help with packmate. I don't have one, have never used
one and therefore I might feel that I wouldn't gain anything out of that
thread, so it would save me time if I just deleted messages that are
relevant to that subject. I hope that people could think about these
suggestions and help us save time and make this list function a lot better,
imho.
