RE: SING OUT

What a strange way to publish - high bandwidth JPG's.

All Java Script

Except for the "Membership Subscription" which is easy text.

My guess is ... they do not want easy cut and paste copying ... and it is a sure way to "foil the bots."

It appears from "view page source" that a great deal of text is used to identify the JPG....

****************

HOWEVER, for a Boycott - they certainly do not seem to be getting the word out....There is NO MENTION of this on the National Federation of the Blind" website. ... National Federation of the Blind

National Association of Blind Musicians (NABM), the music division of the National Federation of the Blind..."Greg Austin" does not appear on or in their site.

MUSIC TALK is the e-mail list of the National Association of Blind Musicians (NABM), the music division of the National Federation of the Blind. MUSICTLK offers a forum for the discussion of topics. They have NOTHING about this...National Association of Blind Musicians in their JUNE 2009 archive.

2009 ANNUAL CONVENTION DETROIT, MICHIGAN
JULY 3 to JULY 8, 2009

TUESDAY JULY 8th 7:00 - 8:30 pm-BLIND MUSICIANS GROUP BUSINESS MEETING Duluth B Room, Level 5 Linda Mentink, Chairperson

I smell something fishy - don't you ?

Perhaps, an invitation to NABM to clarrify this thread is in order.

It does appear that someone has their knickers in a knot - and is using the Google-USE-GROUP Forum to grind a grudge.

The real National Convention in July has a GREAT program - all sorts of things - I like the training group - "Reading Braille Music for Dummies"
