Hi all,

Since I've been called on the carpet for allowing my fingers to do the talking, I'll merely say here that I am angry because someone who posts relevant material is making an apology for being competent! I shall not say any more except that it may be worth taking a look at your behavior and seeing if maybe you are the one who is at fault. People who are always on tap, always willing to help and always posting relevant materials *are* *not* the ones who are at fault. If you post three or six one line messages one after the other, if you post messages that say "I agree", if you post messages that are meant for individuals, then *you* are at fault, *not* Jamey!

Original message:
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 <mailto:mirxtech@xxxxxxxxx> so we don't bother the list with extraneous conversation.
