[nfb-talk] Voice Note verses Pac-mate.

[Steve Jacobson]

Alan,

I want to explain my question a bit more.  I find myself getting frustrated with testimonials that assume that one should 
simply accept the opinion of someone as being good enough.  That has been at the center of some of the frustration 
expressed recently on several lists with Jonathan Mosen's job change.  The interview with Jim Gashel is very interesting, 
but mostly I want to thank you for presenting your reasons.
