Robert, first of all, hams talk about almost anything.
Second, there are a lot of smart and helpful people on this list.
Third, take the victor stream discussion for example:
The device can download ham radio podcasts automatically, as well as issues
of QST.  The recording function can be used to obtain data for loging, code
practice, or information to setup a radio.  
So it's a specialized device that blind hams use to enhance their ham radio
experience.
Relax, hit the deleete key and let smart helpful people do what they do for
each other.
This is a great place to get answers and ideas, rather than finding
subscribing and unsubscribing to a list to get a single question answered.

Many issues have been collectively addressed and successfully resolved by
the collective efforts of list members.

    This is taken from the Welcome message new subscribers receive.

"This is not an attempt at censorship, but an attempt at keeping the=

the hobby in particular.  I am somewhat flexible here--I will allow=

    I unsubscribed some time ago because this was not respected and I=

see its not changed. Sad for many of you could provide a wonderful=

resource. I posted one message since I rejoined and got a half answer=

and nothing more.

    I guess I do not fit into this "club" even tho I am a ham radio=

operator who is also blind. Maybe I will look up the definition for=

"blind ham" later and see if I can somehow understand what it is I am=
