Hello everyone. I wanted to write and say I'm sorry for posting the message
regarding message limites. I didn't mean anything against anyone at all. I
was just mad and was having a bad morning. I should have never sent the
message. Sorry for this conversation even starting. My sincere apologies.

This is just ridiculous. Once again, we alienate someone who takes scanning
and proofing very seriously, and who truly wants to grow our collection with
high quality books. Someone who is able and willing to take on difficult
projects. Why anyone would believe that there should be a limit on how many
messages are sent to the list each day by an individual is beyond me. This
especially true when these messages aren't even off topic. Talk about
censorship. I'm sorry, Jamie.

Monica and list, I apologize. It appears I am the culprit of posting too
much to the list, even for on topic messages like questions about the author or
exact title of a book.
I am completely to blame because I am eager to help grow the collection and
to make the wishes for books of others come true. I am one of the few
volunteers who will spend my own limited free time hunting down books that are
hard to find or even not so hard to find to make available to Bookshare members.
I have been told that in the future if I have questions about books I
should email the person doing the wishing privately and I will do so. If that
means that another person also obtains and scans the same book that I am
getting to scan, then we will be doing duplicate work because the list will not
know I am working on the book. But that's the way it has to be, I guess. Given
that the wishlist grows by leaps and bounds all of the time, I'm guessing it
might not be a problem since there don't appear to be too many others who are
willing to hunt down wishes and get them in the collection.
So again, my apologies. I didn't realize that other people's free time to
read and scan and proof was more valuable than my own free time.
In the future if you have wishes for books please email me privately at
mirxtech@xxxxxxxxx so we don't bother the list with extraneous conversation.
