While I would expect hams to be more than helpful compared to other
groups, hams, blind or not, are still humans and therefore subject to
the same challenges.
I dont think we can sit in judgement on anyone even if we knew that
person deeply. There is one list menber who I thought should know the
ins and outs of this hobby, but he happens to be human too. As Colleen
says, she is not at all technical yet she, just like everyone else here,
adds to the mix. Together, we make things work.
Quote of the nanosecond...
