I would like to contact Marco from Italy who is on this list, but have erased all his messages so cannot reach him via his email. I would appreciate it very much if Marco could contact me at darocho@xxxxxxxxxxxxx; I am interested in the blind community in Italy in general which is beyond the scope of this list. Thanks.

Some listers use key words to identify certain messages in which they are interested. That is the reason why I include the words "updage" or "survey" when I let the list know what's new. I presume it also works in reverse: listers not interested in survey updates probably do not read those messages. That presents a problem when the content of the messages changes. For instance, this morning there are several message containing suggestions for reading paper money. It's possible for somebody to miss those messages. Even more important, eventually we may resort to using the list archives to do several interesting things. Some of the messages are annecdotal. They paint very vivid word pictures of the uses of the Optacon which we may want to share with funding sources. Other messages contain tips and instructions or suggestions which would be useful to new Optacon users or to those who had no thought of a particular strategy. I don't know exactly how to solve this problem. Any ideas would be appreciated.
