Blind, LLC E-Newsletters? If so, find the link at the bottom of every E-News
titled "Update Profile/E-Mail Address", and check this newly-available
option.
Feel free to forward individual Tidbits, or the entire tidbits issue, to
interested people (but make sure they don't already receive it; a lot do!)
When doing this, please have the courtesy to cite your source, perhaps
directing them to the tidbits website (see below.)
Tidbits is intentionally concise, but I know a lot of people don't
understand many of the items because little explanation is given. If a
Tidbit brings up a question in your mind, feel free to ask, and I'll answer
as time, knowledge and inclination permit.
