Hi all! Yes I can see where there would be a problem! A lot of people just add someone as a friend just to make up there numbers! So if facebook picks one of your friends and it is one you've just added for ad dings sake you might not no what they look like! But if they are going to make a system [cough cough cough] for vi blind people it will be interesting to see what they come up with! Colin Qapla! Chegh chew jaj Vam jaj Kak
