[nabs-l] bard web site

[Littlefield, Tyler]

Everyone needs a set of rules I suppose, but why not just say... Join 
one of the 50000 other political lists out there? The solution to a 
problem for way to many folks who want to have some power somewhere is 
to dash off and create yet another list.

As for privatizing things, that never has or never really will be a 
solution for many things. Private corporations suffer just as many 
issues as our government will. Bard will be back up in a week or two and 
you'll all have your books to download. Until then, enjoy bookshare or 
check out podiobooks.com, or if you have the money for it graphic audio 
or audible.
