[nfb-talk] Purpose of List

[kaye zimpher]

I for one, and I know I am in the minority, would rather continue to follow 
the rules of this list. Why would I want to join an ACB list when I have 
clearly been an NFB member for going on 30 years. If the rules say we can't 
talk about Trump on this list, then if I really wanted to talk about him 
that much, which I don't, I'd create my own list of which I am sure there 
are many. Be careful joining an ACB list because after the thrill of talking 
Politics is gone, you are left with some whose value structure may strongly 
differ from our organizations.
