True.
Also for new members, the guidelines that they receive if I remember states we
are here to discuss access to technological issues.
Maybe the guidelines could point to whitestick as a source if they have a
question unrelated to this list, as then they are aware that blind people who
may be on several lists, may be able to answer their queries on a more
appropriate discussion forum.
