[nfb-talk] Blindness and Sexuality

[Michael Bullis]

I can't tell you all how pleased I am that my little April fools joke has 
gotten such discussion.  Just so everyone knows.  I did identify it as an 
April fools joke on the list durring the date of April 1st.  After that, I 
have identified it as such when asked.
April fools Day is one of my favorite days of the year.
