[This is from the Blink Talk Conference]

Well, Willie, I have used the word "blink" in reference to blind
people for many years.  It was used by my blind and sighted friends
both, and no one was ever offended by it.  So the question really
took me aback.

Most sighted people have no idea that "blink" could have negative
connotations, so why should I worry about it?

-> MegaMail v2.01 #0:What part of "NO" didn't you understand?
