instructions.

Hi folks,
Neil has requested that we send our info in a specific format, so I am

Dear All,
It has recently come to the attention of me that Bernard who
tirelessly has worked on our communities behalf through his efforts
with Solona.net <http://Solona.net/> has fallen ill... the exacting
nature of his illness is not known, however, as many of you have
commented his efforts in helping us through all manner of adaptive
tech requires recognition, not to mention our support at what is no
doubt a difficult time right now.
We have a mailing address for Bernard and shall be posting a "get
well" card to him in a week or so.
If you would like to have your name printed and placed on the card,
please send a message to;
serv...@talknav.com <mailto:serv...@talknav.com>
with the subject line of Solona Card.
please only do this in the following format:
first, last names followed by a ?-? and then your country of residence.
We regret that we cannot print additional messages, as the card would
turn into a book, so only your name and country shall be printed.
If you can spread the word as quickly as possible, as we would like to
get the card off as soon as we can.

I guess it's pretty odious work. I tried to recruit volunteers for
him a while back. I know people who for various reasons have free
time and actually needed something to occupy themselves, but they
really balked when it came to solving captchas. One friend actually
said that she has a hard enough time solving them for herself, and
wouldn't want to be responsible for solving them for others.

He and I had a lot of talking. He even called me to see if I was ok
after I got hacked, but we worked together on the Facebook problem
of captchas a bit as well. He was looking for volunteers all the
time and every time he found some they always fell through.

Gee, I was under the impression that he had a whole team of people
working on this with him. Mean to tell me he was doing it all by
himself? Seems to me we really need to work towards a software
captcha solution. One that DOES, NOT, INVOLVE, INSTALLING, WINDOWS!

Is there any way we can send him well wishes or something? I have
tried emailing him, but that hasn't gotten a response, probably
because the poor fella is sick. Does anybody have a contact where
we can send him cards or some such?
It breaks my heart. I wouldn't be surprised if he became ill. The
man was staying up to solve captchas. I told him to not do that
because one needs sleep to be well. But he probably did it anyway.

Hello Ray,,,
the reason Solona is almost never available is because the guy
who ran it has been very sick. this was established on another
list. this guy dedicated himself to helping blind people to the
point where it made him sick.

Subject: Solona nearly never available lately
Say,
Has anybody here noticed that Solona seems never to be
available during the past two months or so? Every single time
I log on or tried to use it or just check to see if it's
available, it always reports not available. That, I guess, is
one of the drawbacks to a human based solution like this, but,
just kind of wondering what's going on?
