It's true we have the other list for nonbookshare discussions and comments, but
like Lissi I like seeing some on this list. It helps to get to know people. I
agree itsometimes make the mail *very* long
I don't know if blind people can go through the items reading only the
subjects and delete quickly if the subjects don't interest them , but that's
what I do.
