Any mature adult knows by now that there is an unsubscribe option on every email ever sent. The idea that any of us would hinder confidentiality or market "our" email addresses is proposterus. Lets all be grateful and polite to  these kind, helpful persons. It i a simple quite equation, instea of challenging and creating more emails, simply, DISCREETLY, scroll down and opt out. Again, thank you to the team for the tremendous amount of time it must have taken you to input these addresses, and for including me! I care about nfb and all blind efforts.

>> Hi all,

>> There seems to be a lot of questions about who created this list and why. Also, why our members' email addresses were included. On Monday, I sent out a general email to everyone stating that the office had decided to create this list serve as a way to keep us all connected (I have pasted a copy of it below this email).  I would use this list to disseminate emails that would usually come from the office...such as "The Federationist", legislative alerts, messages from our National Office, etc. By implementing this list, we have also given chapters an opportunity to keep people in the affiliate informed as to their activities. And, individuals now have a forum to network with other members about issues concerning blindness and their daily lives.

>> Over the years, I have accumulated a list of members and interested      people who have indicated that they would like to receive emails from our office. Any of these emails were included in Monday's email from my      office email, and they were also included in our list serve. While I understand the initial frustration with all the activity this list has generated over the past couple of days, I'd urge you all to be patient and      remain on the list. If you remove yourself, you will not be receiving emails from us at all. I will no longer be sending general emails to all of you from the office email address, and each chapter contact person will no longer be forwarding emails either. We will work to remove emails of those who requested it as soon as possible.

>> If you have further questions, please consider asking our moderator Justin Salisbury at salisburyj08 at students.ecu.edu or myself at llee at nfbct.org rather than addressing the whole list. Please remember that when you hit 'reply' to any emails that you receive from our list, you are responding to the whole list, not just one person.

>> The National Federation of the Blind of Connecticut is developing an listserv to provide better communication between our members and friends, and our chapters and divisions. This list will be used to provide information about issues of importance to the blind, news from our Affiliate and the National Office, job openings in the State of Connecticut, as well as announcements of the activities of our chapters, the affiliate and the NFB. Our moderator will be Justin Salisbury; he can be reached at salisburyj08 at students.ecu.edu. You have, in the past, received forwarded electronic information from our office email addresses or a chapter contact email address. Such information will now be coming from ct-nfb at nfbnet.org
