Hello jenny,
I am sending this thought to the list as I am sure that others have also
felt the same way.  You will find that many posts to nfb-talk also appear
on blind-talk as well.  This is because they have relavence in both
forums.  For example information about legislative actions would more than
likely appear on all NfFB-operated lists as they are of critical
importance to our lives, and to the Federation as an organization.  The
poster wants to broadcast this information to the widest possible
audience.  However, there are posts that appear on both lists that are
only appropriate in one forum only.  For example, discussions about NFB
Phillosophy should be confined to nfb-talk, and likewise discussions about
computer software, guide dogs, and other topics of general interest should
only be discussed on blind-talk, but this may also depend on the nature of
the subject under discussion.
All of this is to say that you would be better off to just stay on both
lists for the time being.  This will help you get a better idea of what
topics are appropriate for which list, and which ones aren't.  However, if
your inbox bulges at the seams, or if for some reason you are just
notinterested in staying on all of outr lists you are free to unsubscribe
from one or more of these lists.  It is my understanding that more of
these lists will come on-line during the year.
If you have any questions about the lists send a message to David Andrews,
Sysop for NFBNet.  Hope this will give you a better understanding of what
is going on here.  Take care and have a good week.
