[Blindmath] College calculus Questions

[David Andrews]

Peter:

You should collect your facts and do some 
thinking before you start making unfounded 
accusations here.  First, most of the people on 
this list are not NFB people, so you need to 
realize that people are questioning you on what 
you say, not because of some other reason you 
might think.  This is the third list on which you 
have stirred things up, and I am very close to 
banning you from all lists on this server because 
it just isn't worth it.  You need to do some 
thinking about the part you play in all this -- 
and not just blame other persons.
