Mickey, if you don't like the list unsubscribe, just get the hell out...Don ----- Original Message ----- From: Mickey Fixsen To: blindhandyman@yahoogroups.com Sent: Wednesday, October 18, 2006 4:31 PM Subject: Re: [BlindHandyMan] blind techniques
All I did was ask an honest question abut a list that purports to be about how a "blind" person can do all kinds of handyman type jobs. I simply stated my frustration that some postings are strictly geared toward the sighted and tell, in no way, how a blind person can do the job. I was not at all rude or nasty to anyone. I think this is a very fair question and it did get some honest answers. I don't think I deserve the nasty treatment for asking an honest question. Maybe it's really just a "post anything you want as long as the moderator agrees with you list" and really isn't about blindness at all. If so, then I was mistaken. At least, all of my postings have been from a blindness perstective. -- Mickey ----- Original Message ----- From: David Ferrin To: blindhandyman@yahoogroups.com Sent: Wednesday, October 18, 2006 3:39 PM Subject: Re: [BlindHandyMan] blind techniques This is great as we won't be without a research department in your absence Ray. good of you to leave the list in such capable hands.
