I agree.  The list would become monolithic if we were to stick strictly to
CP issues and folks would only correspond on an "as needed" basis.  All
sense of community would disappear.  I don't recall any instances of a
disability thread being squelched here.  Sometimes we want to talk about our
common disability, sometimes we just want to chat about the weather.

On the other hand, I can understand a "newbie's" confusion when they expect
this to be a "CP forum" and find that we discuss dogs as much as CP.  Tough
call.

I second that, Kat. To be honest, the discussion of campus accessibility
was
an exception to our usual social chit chat. I don't want to stir up a
mess,
but we could attract and hold more folks if we stuck to disability
related
topics, but that involves censorship and we have agreed not to go that
way.
