[nabs-l] Off Topic Messages

[Ashley Bramlett]

All,
I also wish we had a list for politics.
Chris, I'd join if you set one up. I'm glad David replied to Joshua's 
proposal so we have an answer. We know it cannot be set up on the nfbnet 
server, but we could use google.

I'm sure we can get back on track. It was happening already.

Hi Joshua,

I'd be willing to help you. I have a name for it already,
blind-politics! I know how to create a Google Group, and can do that
for you. Of course, though, that would put me as the moderator, so if
you'd rather be the moderator, I can tell you how to do it. Please
write me off list.

Chris

"The real problem of blindness is not the loss of eyesight. The real
problem is the misunderstanding and lack of education that exists. If
a blind person has the proper training and opportunity, blindness can
be reduced to a mere physical nuissence." -- Kenneth Jernigan

information on our foundation and how it helps blind and visually
impaired children in MD say "I can!"
