because of the flexibility, loyalty and wider scope that this list has stood
for at least up until now

He got it from me, for one. I chose to respond privately, but I fail to see
how making a larger list with more people who probably have more combined
knowledge can harm anything.

more positive input, all I have seen except for one post on the list has been
negative, where are you getting this positive junk from?

Hello Everyone,
So far I have received more positive feedback about the potential merger of
the lists (both on list as well as private emails).
I would strongly encourage you all to please email me privately with your
comments.
I am looking more toward a 10/1/2011 cut over date and would like to give
everyone a 30-day notice if this is so. For this reason I am hoping to get
feedback by August 31, 2011 if at all possible.
Send private concerns, suggestions, yes/no votes, etc., to
jeff@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
I will give people a summarized update at noon on Tuesday and at noon on
Wednesday. If comments keep coming in after Wednesday then I will be open to
extending the time.
I appreciate your help everyone.
To make it clear to everyone, the reasons for merging the list are these:
1. To consolidate blind programmers to help facilitate conversation
in all areas. Many technology changes are coming and it is important we all
speak with one voice as much as possible to fight for access in programming
IDE's, accessible technologies, etc.
2. Concerns about rules on program-l are unwarranted. As long as
people act in a professional manner (no flaming, etc.) than any topic is fine
as long as it relates to programming.
3. The volume of users on ProgrammingBlind or traffic should not be
an issue after reviewing logs and also consulting with George Bell.
4. I see this as a win win for everyone.
If you object to this then I really want to hear from you with clear and
concise reasons.
Again, send comments to me privately. Let's leave list traffic at a
minimum. I will summarize everyone's comments to the list each day.
Thank you,
Jeff Bishop
