The Ohio Listserve has specific parameters and provide a platform to deliver NFB specific subjects. If this continues, Ohio maybe put in an unfortunate position to halt our Listserves, as we do not own them. They are the property of the organization and can not be used for individuals to air their grievances. We are monitored. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Please provide comments directly to me at this time off line by my email below.
