[nagdu] NAGDU and NFB centers

[Marion & Martin]

Angie,
    I submit to all that the reason there is this misconception is that it 
is in the best interest of those who promulgate these myths to do so. They 
point at certain things that seem to support their claims as "evidence", but 
their logic is flawed.
    As for having a "PR problem", I see it just the opposite. I see it as a 
PR opportunity. And we are taking advantage of it!

Fraternally,
Marion
