Default Pre-RFD: newgroup uk.blind.discussion-general

Hello. Im thinking of making a proposal for a new group specifically
designed to facilitate easy access and pleasurable use to blind people
using reader software.

This has come about as Ive seen the well-known blind uk.* user Brian Gaff
semi-regularly offer mild complaints as to the readability of peoples
posts, particularly when threads have raged for days or weeks and there are
replies with loads of quoted content.

So, what Im thinking is make a new group where the rule is that replies
must be very heavily snipped, with no more than one level of quoted content
(ie; the message that is being replied to). Perhaps even enforce snipping
of everything and top-post (which is more or less how Brian replies).
Whatever works. The group would need to be moderated to ensure that the
rules on posting style are followed, of course.

Interested to hear thoughts, particularly from Brian (cross-posted to d-i-y
to grab his attention. FUs set) or anybody else using reader software.
