I have a visually impaired friend who finds he cannot navigate this site with any ease - links are a B****r for most braille readers - but would like to be recommended other moderated fora (the plural of forum) like newsgroups or whatever where he might get a chance to get folk chat.

If anyone can recommend any such places (I have seen a couple of mentions in the past but now of course I cannot find them) it would be helpful if you could please post the respective urls for me to pass on.

Thanks.

Richard, we've discussed this before, yes. Here is the link to the other thread. There were links to various supports/etc there. Hope this helps.

Yes, thanks JenEllen I was there then too, but that was a different question, namely how to maximise the accessibility of Mudcat.

What I'm asking for at the moment is urls for discussion groups on folk music - have I seen mention of one called something like music/folk/alt? - so that I can forward the links to my friend and he can frequent the discussions and discuss!

Something like:
Canadian Folk forum
Musician.com Forum

I haven't used either of these, just did a quick scan through, and they seem fairly accessible. Let me know if this is what you were looking for and I'll dig up some more.
