I'm still here as well, and both lists are still around, although many
have gone silent, I suspect through the impact of blogging, political
imperatives, and the pressures of daily life.

In somewhat tardy response to the comment about cataracts, one notes
that the latest Amazon Kindle has fairly decent text to speech built in,
although the forces of reaction have partially mobilised against it,
which has the potential to open a wider window on the workd of
literature for those with vision disabilities.
