[blindlaw] New Lists on NFB NET

[Mike Freeman]

With respect, I am of the opinion that *neither* list should exist. (grin) 
As I've said before, the concept of a womens' list is sexist! I'd bet you'd 
howl to the rooftops were someone to protest a list for blind men! I'd 
oppose that also, incidentally!

Just my take!

  Hi David, some time ago, some of us women asked as to whether there is a
  list for blind women.  Is there a list we can now join?
  Certainly we have as much to say to  each other as those on a cars list, 
no
  insult to cars implied!
  Thanks so much.
