Ottawa Canada Dear Sharon and list:
While on the surface, it might seem fair to carry announcements of non-Humanware products people have for sale on the list, it really is off topic and generates traffic unrelated to Humanware's products. They provide the mailing list for discussion of their products, and since they foot the bills, its really only fair to them to abide by their wishes. Regarding the discontinuance of maintenance agreements for transplants with older Tieman Braille displays, I'm not sure why Humanware USA didn't make a public announcement of this at the time. I have a feeling they are truly regretting this omission! People subscribe to this list because they are interested in information about the BrailleNote/VoiceNote family of products. There are lists for discussion of Braille displays in general, such as: [EMAIL PROTECTED] And the [EMAIL PROTECTED] list discusses anything about computer use of or for the blind. When a list loses its focus, it also starts losing subscribers as they often just can't keep up with the volume of traffic, or aren't interested in topics other than what the list said it was for in the first place. While this isn't the explanation you probably hoped for, I trust you will understand my line of reasoning. Brian Brian K.
