[bksvol-discuss] Leaving the list, too

Unfortunately, I, too, will be leaving the volunteer discussion list.
Usually, requests, especially from multiple list members, to limit the
number of messages by staying on topic, reading through all messages and
responding once to a thread, and not repeating things already mentioned by
other list members, works to make the list manageable again. However, based
on the less than mature responses I received both on and off list after my
last request, and given that the volume of messages is still very high, I
think I'd prefer to volunteer off list for a while. When this is the choice
of more than a few of us as is the case presently, you really need to stop
and evaluate just how it is that you are contributing to BookShare.
For those of you who wish to contact me directly, I can be reached at

I will also most likely leave the list. Just too much traffic most of which
I delete. Those who feel that a volunteer should be required to be on this
list might want to give some serious thought to the ammount and quality of
posts that have been coming across the list as of late.

Maithe, Just as your post came in I was on version 3 of "I'm leaving the
lists." Still don't have a version I like, but am almost there anyway. It's
a time sucker, no matter how I filter the threads, digest or not, delete
away, amongst other issues. But then I think I'd lose out on finding
validators, whether books are being already scanned, etc. Then I remember
that I functioned perfectly fine for about 3 years without being on this
list and still scanning away. Now all this about twittering is yet more time
sucking. And all that without even spending time on the Friends of BS pages!
Yeah, that's it. Just too much--I'd rather be scanning and reading and
editing. If something major happens, it'll show up on the Bookshare home
page. Well, this note to you just became my farewell post itself, smile.
I'll be unsubbing in the morning, so I can follow some threads tonight.
Y'all know where to find me: in Portland with GDB puppy guide extraordinaire
