Will,
I actually like your idea about including Whitestick in the welcome messege.
Tom's site has been around now for at least 5 or 6 years and has an
excellent list of email lists not to mention the Blindness Related Resources

I'll have a look later on today at including this in our welcome messege.
Thanks for the helpful suggestion.
Regards,
Barry.
