In producing braille for North American readers, this isn't a matter of
opinion, but rather a rule.
Bullets are normally present in books only to visually indicate listed
items. In North American braille, "Bullets, hollow dots, chech marks, and
other signs printed before each listed item solely for visual effect must be
ignored in braille." ("Braille Formats, 1997") If only some items are
specifically bulleted, then they are dealt with.

I would agree with Alan here, but I also fully understand what a pain they
are to handle in DBT.
However, you will be pleased to know that the soon to be released 10.5
handles bullets much better.

I also suggest that the volunteer typists handle the following:
Delete all bullets/hyphens that indicate list items
Sorry guys-don't agree. Bullet points and hyphens are normally there for a
reason, so it is better to replace them with an asterisk and indent
appropriately.
Alan.
