Thank you for taking responsability, but as you can see from m earlier
posting, I stumbled upon a great idea that I want to pursue.

Since everybody on this list has read my previous posting, I'd like to
call upon your assistance.

My basic idea is to bundle our need for an accommodation with those of
others, in order to make a particualr technology viable. I mentioned
foreign language speakers, the hard of hearing, and people who want the
stereo and baffling effects of headphones.

Can people on this list offer me suggestions of other groups that may
benefit? Also, does anybody know if there is an activist group for
Spanish-only speakers that I can get in touch with?

I'm looking for a base of consumers, numbers, activism, and technical
suggestions.

Please, communicate with me off-list. Thank you.
