[nfb-talk] Purpose of List

[David Andrews]

Hi Folks:

We have had some interesting discussion here over the past week or 
so, and on the whole people have remained civil and well 
behaved.  This isn't the case in on-line forums (smile.)  However, I 
have noticed that the topics included in the discussion have at times 
not directly or indirectly related to the blind and the NFB.  This 
includes, but isn't limited to discussions of slavery, the 
constitution, the Iraq war, the Bush administration, etc.  Below is 
the official purpose of the list.

I am not jumping up and down on anyone, or singling anyone out, -- 
just a gentle nudge.

      The purpose of NFB Talk is to disseminate News and
information about the NFB and its activities.  It is also
intended for the discussion of NFB's philosophy of blindness and
topics of specific interest to members of the National Federation
of the Blind and our friends as they relate to the NFB, our
policies, activities and philosophy.
