[nfb-talk] Blind people deserve a library experience readingthenewspaper! NFB News Line Fails that!

[David Andrews]

It is apparent to me that you are using anything you can think of to 
take shots at the NFB.  It just happens to be Newsline this 
month.  You make vague accusations, but never are specific or provide 
any facts or proof.

Unless you know of wrong doing then please go away.
