[Blindtlk] Off list: This is exactly? why I refuse to jointhe NFB!

[David Andrews]

You are welcome here as as anyone who follows our minimal rules and 
behaves themselves.

Yes we have had ACB members over the years, and since we don't know 
anything about many subscribees, who knows ...  Some people are 
silent, some curious, a few so-called trowls or provocateurs, and 
probably other things to.  This is a general blindness-related list, 
so a variety of viewpoints are useful.
