Thanks, Maria.  Also, Eliza, I was wondering how she received enough responses 
so soon as well.  If I were eligible for the study, I would contact her, too.  
I just wanted to let people know about the possibility of her not needing more 
participants, just in case what I heard was factual.

  Hi Ellen,
  Not to worry.  Your thoughts were well meaning.  The snot, oops, I mean snob, 
is the one who should be apologizing.  I might call anyway just for the heck of 
it.

  See ya Tuesday.

    Hello, Lynne and anyone else interested.  Since forwarding the email that I 
received about the study, I was quite snobbishly informed by an individual from 
another group that Christine is no longer looking for more participants.  If 
this is true, I appologize for passing on the information.  I just heard about 
it today and thought that it might be a good opportunity.

        Hi.  Please pardon the imposition.  I am actively seeking participants 
with vision loss to take part in a research study for a graduate thesis.  I was 
hoping you could share this information with members of the VISIONS community 
to see if anyone is interested.   I would be happy to provide additional 
information to you or any members of VISIONS.  We will not place any 
participants under undue stress, and they can withdraw from participation at 
any time.
        Thanks for your consideration.  Details are listed below.
        Sincerely,
        Christine Fitts

        Here are some details:
        I am studying inclusive design in mobile devices.  My research is 
focused on how museums developing mobile tours using iPods and cell phones can 
make them more accessible.   We are looking for participants with vision loss 
who are avid cell phone users.  They will be asked to record each time they use 
their cell phone to access the Internet, send an email or use an application 
over a one-week period.  They will NOT have to record phone calls or text 
messages, and will not be asked to record during work hours.  Participants will 
be reimbursed $50 for participating with the opportunity to earn an additional 
$1/diary entry (up to $50) - all paid in an Amazon.com gift card.
        We are looking for participants who can answer "yes" to each of the 
following:
        - I am 21 years of age or older
        - I am living with a disability
        - I use my cell phone to go online or use applications (email, podcasts,
        etc.) on a regular basis
        - I use assistive technologies on my cell phone
        - I can start the study any day between November 11 and November 25 
(and participate for one week).
        If you are interested, please contact Christine Fitts at
        <mailto:cfittsy@xxxxxxxxx>cfittsy@xxxxxxxxx or 
        917-971-2253.
