[NFB-Seniors] IMPORTANT! - We now have two email lists!

Sun Jan 24 22:25:33 UTC 2021

While I can't speak for Robert, the answer is no.

All messages, (announcements) that are sent to this list will have to 
be approved by Robert or Ruth Sager. Messages to the new list will be 
distributed automatically. The list will be monitored as are all our 
nfbnet.org lists.
