[nfb-talk] KnfbReader Mobile pricing and seminar announcements

Sun Aug 2 21:42:26 UTC 2009

I don't have a problem with Michael's message. Moreover, I understand
the need for messages being sent to many lists as not everyone wants
to subscribe to a specific list for NFB information.

The only thing I dislike is when several different people send out the
same messages to many different lists. Joe Simpson sends out a memo
about something to ten different lists. that's fine, but then Amy,
Bob, Joe, and even Peter forward and send that same exact message to
the same lists. But that did not happen hear.
