[Nfbf-l] Conklin center for the Blind question: very immediate response is fully requested and fully needed

[David Andrews]

Well, he has asked similar questions to this here, and other lists, 
in the past, with few results.  He says he is a member, and I don't 
believe he is -- but could be wrong about this.  He has repeatedly 
mis-used various of our lists -- and I am tired of it.
