[Nfbk] NFB of Greater Louisville's Birthday Bonanza Raffle!

[David Andrews]

While I appreciate your exhuberance, and wish you 
well in your fund-raiser, I must disagree with 
one point of your advice.  Please do not 
indiscriminately send it to nfbnet.org mailing 
lists.  It is off topic for many of them, and 
should not be sent to such lists.  For example it 
would be off topic for blind law or gui-talk, but 
ok for nfb-talk and blind talk.  Remember one 
man's fund-raising message is another man's spam!

David Andrews, List Owner
