Carl, the closing of the chat list was discussed extensively at the September 1
Board of Publications meeting, for which an agenda was sent out in advance, and
which was open for all ACB members to attend and participate — as all BOP
meetings are. Penny

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.
