[nabs-l] Behavior of Membership

[Jamie Principato]

Would anyone mind poking me off-list and filling me in on what happened? I
couldn't make it to convention this year due to a move that took longer than
expected and a severe lack of funds, and I don't have all o the messages
that appeared about it.
Thanks,

Jamie
