Fantastic! Yes, I think having a listing of blogs (and RSS feeds
where available) will be handy for all of us and it's a good idea to
send along important postings and then the rest can be picked up by
RSS readers. My opinion is that if it's some cool new technology or
game accessibility story, we should definitely point out our own
postings!
So, hey, that was an easy issue to solve! :) Sounds like we're all on
the same page here with email overload prevention!
Thanks, Corey, about the best wishes -- it's pretty tough at the
moment. You just never know what life is bringing around the corner
next though so I hang in there.
