[Tn-talk] Topical issues

[David Andrews]

I have e-mailed you about appropriate posts before and it would seem 
you don't understand, or choose not to understand what I say.

If a person is creative enough, he or she can connect anything to 
blindness, but that isn't the point and you should know it.  I am 
sure the ACB doesn't want a bunch of NFB stuff forwarded to its 
lists, and I don't want there stuff either.  What the ACB is calling 
for with its members doesn't belong here, nor does what it does 
organizationally.

Yes, there are topics of interest to the broader blind community, and 
posting information of relevant and appropriate topics here is fine, 
but posting a url to something somewhere else surrounded by a bunch 
of ACB stuff  isn't.

Look at it this way, if the information is important enough, and able 
to stand on its own, with out ACB stuff in it, then it may be 
appropriate to post here.


I doubt we will ever agree on this stuff.  Try trimming out all the 
ACB list crap, and if what is left is worth people knowing, (not just 
what ACB is doing,) then consider cross posting it.
