I'm sure that there's more to this sudden closure, but the ACB Board
apparently is not into open discussions on some internal affairs. For
my thinking, such a quick decision without any discussion is a slap in
the face of those users of the list. Not even a warning or a hint of
any violations. These are certainly strange and troubling times for
not only blind Americans, but for all life on Planet Earth.
I have asked different folks what has become of Bob Hachey, and I sent
Deb that same question. So far, no answer.

Also, this will shock Bob who was the moderator of that group... This will
be a sticker shock for many and no date when it is closed either. I thought,
in my opinion, it was in VERY poor taste in how that was handled.

Subject: [blind-democracy] ACB Chat List has been closed down
Last evening a notice was posted by Deb Lewis announcing the immediate
closure of the ACB Chat List.
No real explanation other than a rambling note telling us that the ACB
could, from time to time consolidates lists, and suggesting we go to the ACB
web page for other lists. Too bad, since the chat list was at least
discussing issues that impact the lives of blind Americans.
