Tracy, I totally agree with you. Thanks for your message. Shannon We are wise, not because we are women, but because we seek wisdom. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Tracy Carcione" <carcione@xxxxxxxxxx> To: <bksvol-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Saturday, December 15, 2007 10:10 AM Subject: [bksvol-discuss] How to tame Step 1 Here's a radical thought. If people spent more time validating, and less time writing and reading the endless chat of this list, surely Step 1 would shrink. Just looking at the subject lines of the last 2 days, very few seem to have anything at all to do with our real work. That is, if one can judge by subject lines, which is in itself a wild assumption. I am begging admin to revive the newsletter that Gustavo used to send out periodically. Then those of us who are tired of 100 messages a day or more could leave this list, and still be up-to-date with what we really need to know to do our validating or submitting in the best way, and keep up with general Bookshare news, like website enhancements and such.
