blindadult
The BLINDADULT mailing list is for blind adults (i.e. those over 18
years of age). Almost any topic is welcome on BLINDADULT, but the
list's primary focus is on dating, relationships and sex. The
listowner, Jeff Knight, founded BLINDADULTI because he believes that:
"those of us who are blind have some unique concerns/perspectives
related to these topics that are not always addressed on other
lists. It is my hope that this list will provide a safe, fun, and
friendly place for blind and visually impaired people to share
their experiences, questions, and concerns about these often
embarrassing topics."

HANDS
In the words of HANDS's founder, Chris Peterson,
"HANDS is a support list primarily aimed at blind highschool and
college students. Prety much anything goes as long as members feel
the need to discuss it. We don't encourage political announcements
or commercials, but if they happen they happen. The main thrust of
the list is to let blind students exchange techniques for dealing
with student life and to allow them to vent their frustrations, but
we've been known to discuss a good movie or book from time to time
too."
