[This is from the Blink Talk Conference]

About some feeling that they are a bit above the rest of the blind 
community.
     Its true--even if those affected this way don't know it.  I think 
they are usually wrapped up in their won affairs so much that ongoing 
communications with the uninitiated or the nonbusiness related outsider 
is just not on their agenda.  Its a common failing of everybody, not 
just blind people.
     For example the really series geeks out there probablly don't read 
this stuff because they are too busy geeking with their current project 
to bother with this sort of thing.  But... a person has to be stupid not 
to use a bbs for $0.00 to download a shareware program, when he can use 
the $$$$ CompuServe.  
     Talk to ya all later.
