[nabs-l] AIM High?

[Jamie P.]

There are absolutely blind dropouts. I am not one myself, but I know quite a few personally and have heard stories of others. We still have a long, long way to go. 

That being said, I don't have a percentage. I don't think such data is being gathered by any authoritative entity.
