[NABS-L] [nabs-l] citation question

Mon Aug 12 11:20:37 UTC 2024

James, whoa! This topic is like what over eleven years old now? Hell it was created months before I became an NFBNET member myself, plus I'm pretty sure Melissa isn't a member here anymore at all.

Honestly. Was there any need to revive and dig out such an old thread? Maybe, but you haven't really said much of anything besides providing some links. Besides, the people in question you reference might have already figured out potential answers to their questions long before now.

I know I am not a moderator, but please, please, please everyone let's try and be more cautious when replying to threads (particularly EXTREMELY old ones like this) in the future, OK? Especially because this list can be very high-traffic sometimes, so we really should try and minimize unnecessary clutter to the greatest extent possible.

Have a good week,
