[Nfb-web] Question about Lists and Duplicate Messages

[Jeremiah Beasley]

I think this is a good idea.  I would not mind being on this list.  We could
let folks know that they will be subscribed to this list when they sign on
to one of our lists and be taken off when they unsubscribe to all of our
lists that they are on.  

Thanks,
Jeremiah

I sent this message to the nfb-moderators list -- people who moderate or
watch various lists on nfbnet.org.  I would appreciate any feedback from
anyone on the nfb-web and nfbnet-webmasters lists.  While you don't
necessarily moderate any lists here, you are hopefully more
cyber-sophisticated than the average bear -- did I just invent a
word?(smile.).
