I repeat my previous questions.  Is this or is this NOT a group for the
Visually Impaired and people who work with them to discuss COMPUTER issues,
NOT politics?  And if politics ARE allowed, why have I been FLAMED in the
past for straying into now not-forbidden territory?  I get flamed when I
stray even a LITTLE outside computer issues.  I am beginning to see a double
standard starting here.  I would REALLY appreciate the ownert(s) /
Moderator(s) of this group to state CLEARLY what the purpose AND the
policies of this group and the postings to the group are.
