K Ramkrishna <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Dear Listers, After witnessing the recent negative discussions on AI about the sexual harassment of VI women and after a lot of deliberation, I want to sign out of AI, as my conscience doesn't permit me to continue here, where we are insensitive to problems of VI women, where none of the ladies even bothered to raise their voices and share and where the judgment of our moderator was unacceptable and inadequate. Not that it would make any difference to the members. I thank all of you for all the knowledge, data and information provided to me. I could also get some good friends here.
