[NABS-L] The Ohio Association of Blind Students Brings You TwoBlind Brothers!

[Littlefield, Tyler]

Thank you for pointing this out. I've given up trying to get people to 
realize how problematic FFB is, because they're quite invasive. Nothing 
was more telling than watching a company like Aira try to explain why 
FFB representation is on their board, and then make it sound like this 
is in the name of being inclusive of all ideas and outlooks.
