[nagdu] Discrimination

[Gloria G]

Hi Rebecca,
This is response to your respoonse to Marrion's post about keeping the NAGDU 
hotline number to memory. There are some people who may need to use the 
number to receive feed back more than others. I don't feel her idea should 
have been put down. Marrian was just tryig to be helpful.
