Thank you David!  Good grief every other list and newsgroup on the
internet has list of rules concerning what the list is about.  Why can't
we?  Frankly I think it is a very bad idea to allow ACB post on the NFB
list at all because some new NFB members might get mixed up and think that
they were to follow the actions outlined on the ACB post becaues it is on
the NFB listserve. We have our own alerts on this list all the time and if
the readers of this list have the time to write half the letters that they
are asked to by own alerts I would be suprised.  I encourage anyone who
has the time to read as much as they can of ACB list and The Braille
Forum.  There can be on censorship on the internet even if someone wanted
it. 
	We need to keep our own message clear so we can act as the
disciplined unit we are to better the lives of the blind.  The ACB may
jump up and down and make noise but we get the work done.
