Harvey:
 
I must disagree with you.  The Seeing Eye showed a total disrespect for blind 
persons by sneaking around a room full of blind people handing out something 
they had been asked not to do.
 
The NFB convention is that, a NFB convention.  As such, it is our duty and 
responsibility to set the ground rules.  Rooms cost us money and must be paid 
for somehow.
