Re: lynx-dev inquiries from blind users

[Philip Webb]

following up my messages last weekend,
i've revised my information file for blind Lynx newcomers:
i've deleted AG and added Kelly Ford,
and i've separated out the National Library Service site,
which does contain some Internet-related information,
but need not be directly connected with LR;
i haven't heard from LE or GR and assume they have no problem with it.
i've also added the initial  http://  to URLs,
as suggested by someone to help in using the Archive.

to avoid misunderstanding, i should emphasise that my little effort
was prompted by several recent inquiries to lynx-dev from blind people
who appeared to be newcomers to the Internet as well as Lynx.
it seems to me useful to have a carefully edited file available
to attach to replies to future similar inquiries.
of course, we should encourage all Lynx inquiries to go via lynx-dev,
but some newcomers may welcome the opportunity to ask questions
about the Internet or Lynx from other blind users
who can give them more specific or accurate help than the rest of us;
my file makes clear that the people mentioned are volunteers.
