[nabs-l] FW: Four New Publications Added to NFB-NEWSLINE

[Kirt Manwaring]

Joshua,
  I think it's because NFB Newsline isn't only for Federationists.  If
they're trying to market it to the whole blind and print disabled
community, I think it would make sense to include material from as
much of that community as is practical.  I think of myself as a
Federationist in terms of philosophy (that doesn't mean I'm very
involved with the NFB.  There's a difference, sometimes), but I see no
harm in reading something from the Braille Forum if it seems
worthwhile.
  Best,
Kirt
