Admin note about message topics

[Guest guest]

HI all,

I read through the numerous messages that have accumulated during the past

number of hours I've been away, and I think I need to make a blanket

statement.

This list has an identity that may keep it small, but it keeps it focused.

If there weren't other lists to talk about all kinds of blindness related

topics, it wouldn't be a problem, but we really need to keep our focus, and

our identity, on blindness and diabetes, and how the 2 are related.

Since I did not create the list, and have only been co-moderating for a few

months, I haven't taken the time to dig in to file rules and all that like

other lists tend to send out. Perhaps that needs to be done. but, for now,

since we're pretty small, let's just try to keep the topics focused on being

blind or visually impaired, and also being a diabetic.

FYI, I believe Tucker, the other co-moderator, has been having

computer problems, and I believe that is why we haven't seen much of her

lately.

Many thanks for your understanding and cooperation.

Dave
