[Nfbmo] what happened to nfbmo.org

[Gary Wunder]

Hi, Peter. With respect to your concern about the music on the site, our webmaster would probably be better served was education one on one rather than on the list. He decided, rightly or wrongly, that people who came to the site would want to be automatically linked to our audio and that this is the main reason people would be visiting the site this weekend. We will think about this for next year, but you will get music until the session begins.
