[nabs-l] Ending the NFB/ACB feud

[T. Joseph Carter]

Jim,

Read one month of traffic on nfb-talk and on acb-l.  About a year 
ago, I made the same effort you appear to be ready to embark upon.  
In some states, the ACB and NFB work together.  In others, not so 
much.

There's a lot of hate and animosity toward the NFB on acb-l.  You 
will find nfb-talk mostly ignores the ACB, unless a thread like yours 
comes up.  When it does, there is an expression of distrust based on 
the vitriol directed at us.

Joseph

After all, we will be then next generation leading these two organizations, and if we can sieze this oppertunity, maybe we students can set the example for the "adults" within the two national organizations.
