[nabs-l] An Invitation to participate in a sex knowledge survey

[bookwormahb at earthlink.net]

I wondered why they'd survey blind people. But I'd get more information 
before assuming anything and participating. It doesn't bother me too much 
they want to survey blind people, but I thought the age sample was very 
narrow.  How will people learn our views or that we're normal if they don't 
investigate us?
Take it if you want or just leave it; I am too old to participate so just 
deleted it.

FYI: This particular topic has nothing to do with blindness or NABS.
Please let it die.
