Wow, ok, then!
I'll do my best not to keep you all informed here on this list. Sorry. Just hit 
the delete key if you are so inclined.
I'm leaving for the concert and won't be back until later. Taking my trumpet 
with me because I have a bone to pick with it. It needs some talking to.

It's one thing to be melancholy and one thing to be sophisticated, but when you 
get the two of them together in a way people can relate to, then I think you're 
on to something. You want the sophistication to lie in the purity of the sound, 
the beauty of the arrangements, and the quality of the performances."-Trumpeter

  Subject: [bksvol-discuss] A Request for Fewer Off-Topic Messages


  Hi everyone,

  I would like to politely request a lessening of the off-topic discussion on 
this list.  I joined this list in order to keep in step with the evolving 
nature of volunteering for Bookshare.  I completely understand and appreciate 
that off-topic discussion helps bring a volunteer community closer, but I am 
finding it very difficult to keep up with the posts actually related to 
volunteering lately, as there are so many completely unrelated messages mixed 
in.  A multitude of other online venues exist where it is more appropriate to 
chat about holidays, musicians, birthdays, politics and other such subjects, 
but this list is pretty much the only place to chat about volunteering for 
Bookshare.  In the interest of continuing to make volunteering the great 
experience it is, I hope that most of the off-topic discussion here can be 
posted elsewhere.  I am not trying to point fingers or be a downer, nor am I 
asking for a removal of all off-topic discussion, but the sheer volume of 
off-topic posts lately has simply been overwhelming.  Thanks for reading!
