RH9 disks on the net.

[Darrell Shandrow]

Hi Janina,

If you are continuing to read the messages of this thread, you are learning

can not be claimed, since many attempts at enlightenment have been made.  I
stand by my consideration of their policies of sub-human treatment for the
blind as being deliberate.
