... The web page describing this group can be found here: http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/faceblind/ On this web page, you'll read the following: "Welcome...
I see what your saying, but I think it will take some serious effort and legislation before someone would have recourse in the situation you describe. And if...
All yahoogroups, as well as other egroups, have their posts show on search engines. It's not just this group. Legally and practically, anything on the web is...
Yes, I should have noticed that. My bad. One of my disability issues is that I frequently miss such things. Very frequently. That's on me, of course. I am not...
Actually, I 'own' a few yahoo groups. There is a setting for making the archives private to members, in which case search engines, as currently configured,...
... While all of this is technically true, Yahoo does allow for groups to be classified as private to varying degrees at the whim of the group owner. As group...
... I'll bet that would make a difference. :( ... It doesn't hurt to ask for consideration. It also doesn't hurt to periodically ask for discussion on the...
I wasn't trying to make a big deal, and I even tried to find the email link for the group owner to send the request privately, but could not find it (it is...
That is certainly very reasonable. I wouldn't presume to ask it based on just me. If the majority feels one way or another, I am certainly up for respecting...
I am on another group that the yahoogroup moderator has set for private. Every prospective member is screened and the messages are available only to members....
I find it pointless. If someone wanted to go into the archive data then they could become a member of the group and view them. What is the point of even...
... This is a perfectly valid reason. ... This is perfectly valid too. ... Quite to the contrary, it hasn't offended me at all. It may be counter to the...
I don't want to belabor this. I can only tell you that, of the other groups I am on with settings that members only may read the message archives, I have never...
Actually the president does have an email address as well as many of the staffers. the standard government protocol is if its classified you do not use the...
I am finding all of these new conversations very interesting! I am an extreme novice at bird watching but do enjoy it. When identifying a bird, even the...
Since I contributed a lot on the aspergers/autism front, I'll answer this part, at least from my own perspective. In essence, no. Faceblindness is described as...
Thank you for your offer to remove posts. For now, I'll let it be. I'll have to think about whether or not I would want to remove something. Part of me cringes...
I see what you are saying, I think. I doubt the ADA could get away with saying that only a genetic condition would qualify...that would be like saying only...
QUESTION: Do faceblind people recognize birds or pets or breeds of dogs or cows or ..? This face blind person doesn't. - - - - - - - - - - QUESTION: Do others...
... Sure. Prosopagnosia affects specifically the ability to recognize faces. Bird or cow faces don't register as "faces" (or at least that's not usually what...
Hi, I read the link and found a lot of the information interesting and informative. I don't believe though that we are hybrids our ancestors mated with...

Marcy- You mentioned lactose intolerance. Here's a neat tidbit I heard a while back. Most adults in the world are lactose intollerant. It is only folks...
Dawn- I'm not sure about the AS FB connection. It may be that many folks have both, but face avoidance may indeed be part of face recognition probs for folks...
Bonnie- In terms of the definition, it doesn't matter, but I wouldn't say medicine doesn't care where it comes from. Research would just stop in that case. ...
Hi, Yes, I have heard that too... Its the old Milk/butter folks verses the olive oil folks. The reason I brought it up was because of the article link that...
You mentioned lactose intolerance. Here's a neat tidbit I heard a while back. Most adults in the world are lactose intollerant. It is only folks of Northern...
Marcy- I haven't had a chance to see the article, but I have heard some little bit about the idea that early modern humans and Neanderthals might have been at...
