[Nfb-krafters-korner] A Whole New Concept!

[River Woman]

Greg,
Excellent reflection - we have been asked a number of times to change the 
subject line when responding or adding new information beyond the previous 
subject. I forget to do it often!  Later I notice it and think about it. I 
think we can all be more conscious of that.

We are all interested in some things, and in other things have not the least 
bit of interest. I only open the ones that are on a topic I am interested in 
and I think most of us do that. There is only so much time to read 
everything. Lynda River woman
