[Stylist] Writers division activity

Wed Jul 15 21:17:55 UTC 2026

Someone just tried to unsubscribe me from the list, why?

I never saw an email about the ending of the writer's division.

I vote to keep this or a new group alive whether connected to NFB or not.

I can be reached at kpirnie77 at gmail.com
Phone 208-206-1181

Warm Regards,
Kevin Pirnie
