[nabs-l] Ending the NFB/ACB feud

[Ashley Bramlett]

Hi Tina,
I've not heard it from nfb members.  But from ACB members.
I've heard and experienced the differences and attacks.  At local ACB 
meetings it comes  up; occassional attacks but most often just a different 
set of philosophies and priorities.  Additional as someone pointed out, I've 
heard the NFB villified on ACB-L the list serve for ACB similar to NFB's 
nfb-talk.
That is what I meant by hating each other.  Sadly there is too much friction 
and attack.  More often its from older members.  ACB students and young 
adults are more open.  However ACB has a majority of older foks.

Ashley
