Re: sc-users is closing down

Hi Mario,=20
while I=E2=80=99m not affected I can hear your point!
I=E2=80=99m working in an integrative school and besides quite a few =
wheelchair users some students are visually impaired.
Talking to them about issues, their stories completely reflect your =
statement.=20
Alas, no surprise here.

Then again, Scott et al,  I=E2=80=99d like to point out, pure text only =
mode still seems to be valuable to many people (including me) and this =
option seems to gradually get lost.
As soon as the switch was announced I changed to mailing list mode on =
scsynth.
While I understand the motives for the switch and appreciate all the =
work and efforts which went and will be going into both the mailing list =
and the forum, I=E2=80=99m not entirely happy with the new mail format.
So, ATM I=E2=80=99m =E2=80=9Cobserving=E2=80=9D what=E2=80=99s happening =
and somehow adapt eventually, because I can.

I really hope things work out fine and the SC community stays inclusive =
as it (seemingly) was.
Thanks a lot, Michael.
