I think the sarcasm at the end of his message was an especially poor choice and for me prejudices even further his postings in general.

Just thought you might want to check out this nice story that mentions Bookshare (with a live link), thanks to me: ...Robert Martinengo's presentation on reading technologies for the disabled was particularly important. The blind and visually impaired are voracious readers, and e-books can easily be converted into Braille or spoken books. Martinengo also noted the work of Bookshare.org, a nonprofit online library for the blind and print disabled. http://www.publishersweekly.com/article/CA6454467.html So, sorry to disturb your friendly little list - wont happen again.

I'd like to ask you to put it on hold and perhaps send me the name of a mailing list where members can get more information on the subject if they are interested. This list is for our members to discuss books and other topics related to Bookshare specifically. While your topic is relevant and interesting, I think it's gotten more than enough coverage for now. Thanks, Lisa Manager, bookshare.org To unsubscribe from this list, send a blank Email to bookshare-discuss-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Put the word 'unsubscribe' by itself in the Subject line. To get a list of available commands, put the word 'help' by itself in the subject line.
