[games_access] Posting to the List -- Opinions Sought [was visionplay]

[D. Michelle Hinn]

I guess then we'd have to take a poll on that -- there hasn't been an  
official list policy, just the preference of members. I certainly  
don't mind and have said that before.

I think what people object to the most is twitter-like posts of just  
links. But I don't see why articles reporting on accessibility  
stories can't be posted with summaries and then the link to the  
larger article. Seems like that would be a service to list members to  
see the variety of content out there.

Anyone have any disagreements with that? Let's have an open  
discussion on it, pro/con, and let the list decide.

Mark -- you are certainly welcome to do a post with the above idea  
(title, summary, link) as an example so that list members could see  
an example.
