[nagdu] NAGDU and NFB centers

[Lisa Belville]

I agree.  And, I hate to sound negative here, but I frankly wouldn't want to 
sit through such a discussion if the point is to once more rehash why a dog 
and an NFB style center don't mix.  There's really no point in such a 
discussion if this is the primace behind it.

Speaking of convention, will any of the NAGDU events be streamed or 
available for download after convention?
