I agree
We are getting too many emails that are non technical.

Hi Folk,
I was really enjoying the thread and I indeed contribbuted to it too.
Now I don't like "the gentle hand of the Mod" coming down upon us, :)
Let's see if we can tidy up this thread of braille by the weekend if
possible.
Too, we are really straying with writing with print and so on.
Are there other lists for such discussions like braille/print I wonder?
Question well meant
I assure you,
Best,
