Damon,
That's what I was thinking about last night. A BLOG or better still WIKKI
would better suit than constantly creating list after list. Were most of
the members don't are simply don't' know how to search archives, (if the
list keeps any), for common questions.
I think because we are so general here on access-uk we have a place for some
time to come but the model of the web has moved beyond email lists. It's
not dying tomorrow but it's an area that in particular Blind people have
become in some senses negatively addicted too. There's more than one way to
skin a cat and the argument that an email list is simpiler for a newbee
doesn't always wash.
Barry.
