[nabs-l] Off Topic Messages

[David Andrews]

The nabs board and other appointed persons, who have watched the list 
over the years have generally been good about keeping things on 
track.  However, students are busy, and different people have 
different boiling points.  I am there as a backup, as needed, I at 
least skim everything on every list.  I try not to get to far behind, 
but sometime do -- as I did with nabs-l this week.
