This site should be easier for everyone than the previous listserv. Same topic, hopefully same people (and more) with a much easier format. I think we have...
Thank you, Randy. As I told you privately, I am in Paris but wanted to vote in favor of Yahoo. I know this will be helpful to all of us. I also vote in favor...
Judy, I am impressed with your loyalty and dedication. If I were in Paris I wouldn't spend a second thinking about mundane things like listservs. Paris is...

Great news Janice! I wish you all the best of luck. Looped public transit of all kinds should be mandatory. Collectively, I'll be we could tell some...

Hi Janice, Thank you. We responded to the initial request for information in a very positive manner that fully explained the technology, the trends, and...
Hi Everyone- The Commission Meeting will be held at 40 Rector Street, NYC on the 5th Floor. Also, we are up to 15 taxis and we have decals! Best, Janice Janice...
Janice, you did not state what your new e-mail address is. I am excited for you with the upcoming trial using 15 looped taxis in NYC. I wonder too, like...
I want to respond to Norman's letter: Norman, I find your letter extremely odd for many reasons: 1- You sent this to me and I thought it was private. This is...
I found Norman Lederman's post insightful, and as he said "another perspective". I don't want to see anyone on this list "slammed" for their opinions. The...
Loretta - Actually, I think it¹s the other way around. Hard of Hearing is a term promoted by Deaf Culture because they refuse to see a lack of hearing as any ...
Loretta: This discussion is becoming very interesting to me. I was appointed to the then named Governor's Council for the Hearing Impaired that advised the ...
The London cabs used to be (and probably still are) deisels, so they won't have an interference at least from the common source in cars (spark plug wires). I...
I've never seen the term "hard of hearing" treated as a term promoted by Deaf Culture when they are referring to people like us. When they use the term "Hard...
To Michael and Carol: Our comments prove what Carol says: there will never be a 100% consensus about how to refer to us, by ourselves, or by other people....
California hoh people are facing some rather strong assertions from Deafyhood folks, I think. I know California hoh people have been struggling with "who we...

Hi Janice, Please bear with me as I briefly address your points. 1. I understood that my letter was in response to the TLC's interest in pilot testing and your...
I don't think so, but that is just my personal thought. When trying to make a point, I will say I am late deafened - which sends the message that I am someone...
Mike, It wasn't at all meant to be personal. My point was that California seems to be struggling with the subject to perhaps a greater degree or with more...
I personally prefer the positive identification: I have a hearing loss. Sometimes I add that I have a cochlear implant. Saying that I am deaf (which I am)...
Truth be told most every hearing person doesn't undertand what we are or how we function no matter what we call ourselves. I always get a kick out of it when I...
AMEN!!! The point I was trying to make is that there is no correct answer. None of us are correct and none of us are wrong. And that's not bad at this point....
I too have heard that "oh, I'm so sorry"......but sometimes I think that is an immediate reaction to realizing they were speaking in a manner that made it...
... In addition, all of the major organizations for people with hearing loss now use either hard of hearing or hearing loss e.g. The League for the Hard of...
We should all try to only include the current message when sending our postings. I noticed that I personally clogged up the postings because I had all the...
