I agree with you in gneral; however, I have been a member of this list for
many moons and have seen very little offerings of items for purchase. This
includes items from humnaware or other venders. That's not to say it could
not become a problem. But, on the other hand, I honeastly doubt that noone
has ever tried to sell a humanware product on the pac mate list. Also,
humanware could take this to mean that people are so happy with their
products and want them badly enough that they are dumping the products of
the competition to have the ability to obtain the products that humanware
offers.

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
