Hi Mario,
while I’m not affected I can hear your point!
I’m 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.
Alas, no surprise here.
Then again, Scott et al, I’d 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’m not entirely happy with the new mail format.
So, ATM I’m “observing” what’s 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.
