Hi All, I wanted to post this here as some of us are on both lists.
As some of you may know, as of Friday, Google has prevented access to the VIPhone mailing list because it says that the list contains spam or questionable content. However, they did not alert either Mark or myself about this, nor have they told us what the supposed content may be. Mark and I have sent feedback to Google and requested a manual review of the list in hopes that it can be restored as soon as possible. These are the only options we seem to have available to us aside from just getting the word out in hopes that someone at Google might at least learn about the importance of the VIPhone group for the blind and visually impaired community and perhaps review the list more quickly. So I just wanted to let you all know the current status of the group and why it is not available at present. If anyone does happen to have any contacts at Google or works there themselves and has any way of getting the review process to happen a bit faster, then it would sure be helping a lot of people. Like MacVisionaries, VIPhone also has a large following and provides a valuable resource for many blind and visually impaired folks. So anything anyone can do to either help get the word out or at least update people on the status of the list, it would sure be appreciated. :) Thanks so much to you all and apologies for the somewhat OT posting. I thought you all should know what is going on. Thanks very much and please let me wish you and yours my very best! Cheers!
