from the Missouri L list. It apparently was sent directly to your email SBC
email account. As you are aware, I responded to you off list, asking you to
send me a copy of the message that offended you. I asked you to send me a
copy of the message including the full message header so I can determine its origination.
It saddens me that this issue has been elevated by your posting of the
offending message to the list. It is apparent that you are passionate
about this issue, but please remember that the Missouri L mailing lists is not
private. Anyone on the Internet can review the entire archive of the
messages for the past three years. Let’s work together to promote
blindness issues, not our dirty laundry.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

selected a sighted man for the position of Executive Director. This move
would demean the<br>
goals of our organization. If MCB board hires a sighted director, it
gives the impression that we poor, stupid blind people cannot run our
organization. <br>
We have worked too many years and too hard to destroy the knowledge of the
abilities and capabilities of blind people that MCB promotes. It would
not<br>
give a positive statement to other disability groups, city and state officials
and other blind people. MCB members have always been adamant about
persons<br>
who are blind running our organization. I feel having a sighted E.D. will
lower the esteem of our organization. Talk to your board members and
encourage<br>
them to vote NO! This is my opinion but many others share it. </span></font><o:p></o:p></p>
