I know this has been said before, but we really need to keep partisan blind
organizational politics off of this list. There are many good folks from
both organizations who are a part of this list, and they sure aren't hear to
have their values questioned. We are all here to learn about technology
together, and that's the way it needs to stay.

well yes there is always a place to put one of those long white canes. All u
need is a person from the n. f. b. they would be happy to show you how the
correct way to store that caine is. However keep in mind that it will be
hard to walk with your cane stored there way. It will also cause you to be
vary angry.
