[nagdu] Monthly Meeting of the Travel and Tourism Division January 10, 2012 with our special Guest Matt Slosky, CEO of Socialflights.com

[Julie J.]

Margo,

Let me try to be more clear.  If the particular announcement has 
specifically to do with guide dogs and travel, then it's appropriate for 
this list.  A good example is Cheryl's recent post about her trip and 
the dolphin encounter issue.  that related to both travel and guide 
dogs, so it's fine here.  However *all* travel issues are not relevant 
to this list and are not to be posted here.

It's no different than for any other list.  The recent discussion about 
hockey games and taking a guide dog was appropriate for both this list 
and the sports and recreation list.  However a post about purchasing a 
BoFlex machine is inappropriate for this list.

There are lots and lots of NFB sponsored lists, all with specific areas 
of interest.  Repeated straying from the topic of guide dogs takes away 
from the value of this list.   People are here to discuss guide dogs.

Julie
