[nabs-l] NFB/ACB

[Aziza C]

Joesiph,
Those who want to try to bridge the gap should be warned, it won't be
easy, no one said that. Emotions shouldn't be involved in this, it
should just be determination, and trying to do this will take time.
People firm in NFB belief won't change their mind, won't leave, and
won't just give up when met with opposition.
