Re: New List Rules

[Christopher Mende <csmende@neubayern.net>]

Jonas,

A similar issue cropped up on a local autox list. The topic of 
riding a vehicle (bike, moped, scooter) through an autox course to 
get a feel for the course was brought up by a lister. It was said 
no way would that be allowed.

The lister then became upset because he had a condition that would 
not allow him to physically walk that distance. He had never 
before mentioned this condition.

So naturally an exception was made for him to use a wheelchair or 
other vehicle that would keep him moving at a walking pace.

If you have a legitimate condition or handicap that keeps you from 
typing well, please let me or someone know. I recall a person 
sending you a keyboard to help your typing situation shortly after 
you signed onto the list. Veedub fans DO help each other out, you 
just have to make yourself available to receive it. If you need 
software w/ a super-easy spellcheck built in, or whatever... I'm 
sure someone will help.
