[stylist] The two list idea

Tue Apr 7 04:05:32 UTC 2009

The general blindness discussion list is supposed to be Blind Talk:
http://www.nfbnet.org/mailman/listinfo/blindtlk_nfbnet.org

although people only generally seem to follow the purposes of the 
specific lists.

While some minor discussion of politics will be permitted on some of 
our lists, in and of itself it isn't blindness-related, so is 
generally off topic.  There are plenty of other lists out there to 
discuss such matters.
