[nabs-l] BANA still considering abolishing the Nemeth braille code

[Joshua Lester]

I'm not immature.
I just don't like having profanety on the lists, in case a child is on it.
Sure they might be exposed to it, but we need to keep it to a minimum.
I agreed with you, that the idea, to change our code, is bologna.
You can say that, without using "BS."
Crap, even may be better suited for the list, than the S word.
I'm just saying this, for the protection of newcomers.
Again, I wasn't offended directly.
Blessings, Joshua
