[Nfbmo] NFBMO listserv changes - please indicate who you are when posting to NFBMO

[via Nfbmo]

HI all
        I've noticed that since the new  policy regarding the NFBMO 
listserv that the From: field in our  distributed emails  says only NFBMO.  So when 
you send an email  to the discussion list, make sure that within the body 
of your email that you  include your name and email address.  Otherwise we 
will have no idea who is  sending what - it will only say from: NFBMO.
Dan

Subject: [Nfbmo] Big news for Dr. Richard Smith and  Wolfner Library

Hi all,
Change is inevitable.  We  were lucky to have Dr.  Smith as long as we
did.  His efforts put  Wolfner solidly in front of the  NLS digital 
transition, among other  achievements.   We can take solace  in knowing that
he will  be 
overseeing NLS Library for the Blind network  division, but he  will be hard
to replace.
Congratulations, Richard!   We're  going to miss you.

Dan Flasar

Chairman, Wolfner Adbisory  Board
NFB representatibe to the Wolfner Advisory Board Lewis & Clark  Chapter, NFB
of Missouri
