dear john,
i am not always able to read the many postings on some of the list serves that
i am on, nor have i been able to read many of colrevs e-mails. however, i have
read some of colrevs e-mails and as a disabled person, an activist and a
disability studies scholar, i have found valuable information in some of
colrevs postings.
