[nfbcs] Corrupt User Profile

[David Andrews via nfbcs]

He said C9omputer Science -- not "Computer Science 
Professionals."  This list is sponsored by the NFB in Computer 
Science -- a division of the nFB.  Its official description reads:

         The purpose of the National Federation of the Blind in 
Computer Science
mailing list is for the Discussion of the business and operation of the NFB
in Computer Science.  It is a way for our members to keep in contact with each
other, to discuss the business and operation of the division and to share
information about the worlds of computer science and technology with 
each other.



So, this is pretty broad.  As I said in a previous message, I think 
our past practice has been to allow support and maintenance questions 
as long as they don't take over the list.  Our current discussion, of 
alternative tools like transistor radios and light probes is exactly 
the kind of thing that this list is good for -- it seems to me.
