Questions:

1. What earth-shattering event made you abandon 4 years of work, to suppo=
rt
a minority audience?
Don't get me wrong, it's commendable - BUT FOUR YEARS WORK? Are your brai=
ns
leaking out of your ears again? :-)

2. How are you proposing to support handicapped people, specifically the
blind?

> A mud-dev custom status quo, sort of.  Please share!

A mud-dev status quo is an oxymoron, surely? Unless we are the same, by
being different. BTW, I remember this list being more active when it was
invitation-only. I remember getting 20-30 messages a day. Has my brain go=
ne
cuckoo, is everyone just busy, or have posters left - to be replaced by
lurkers?
