Hello, Mika.

Unfortunately, as I indicated to James Huff in an earlier post
regarding this, Slack locks my screen reader up hard, requiring a
reboot. I wish I could use it, but the 1 & only time I tried, the
results were pretty undesirable, to say the very least--& that's the
really polite & extremely edited version. I suppose I should go up &
try again, justifying doing so that they may have made changes, but
somehow I can't help but think that the definition of insanity, i.e.,
doing the same thing & expecting different results likely still
applies. So unfortunately for me, this is pretty much the only way I
have at present to communicate w/other volunteers, unless you have
another idea, which I'd gratefully accept.
