Email written in ASL in vertical columns on the web?

SignWriting List
April 1, 2004

Dear SW List and Stephen -
Since the SignWritng List owner, Paul Cowley, in Canada, asked us not
to post html messages (although occasionally we do...but we
shouldn't!).... Since that is the case for this SignWriting List, which
is an international List anyway, and ASL is not the only language being
used...Maybe the PUDL site could have a web-based ASL Email Forum for
those who want to type emails in ASL? That way, the email will be in
one signed language, rather than multiple, and it will encourage true
ASL literacy. I bet there will be people who will not know what was
said, because they do not know SignWriting well enough yet, but I would
be happy to teach how to read each email, whenever anyone asks...and
that way, slowly but surely, people will become fluent in reading
ASL...

This would solve the problem of no html messages immediately... and it
would keep the SignWriting List international...

Val ;-)
