Fascinating.
Tracy,
I agree that there's a lot of off-topic stuff posted
on the list, and it would definitely help if the
subject lines were more accurate, but I find a lot of
the information fascinating and informative. I know it
should mre appropriately be posted to the bookshare
list rather than the volunteer list.
