[bksvol-discuss] Re: no place on the list {was: Re: Off-topic discussions was RE: Re: Some proofing questions}


Bob, One of the  lines Madeleine quoted from the purpose of the volunteer list 
was something to the effect of using it to get to know each other; I can't 
remember exactly what it said, but I posted it recently.
We are a community, and become friends, and in general we care about each other 
and what's going on in each others' lives.
I do agree, though, that the subject lines should  be specific, so we can 
quickly decide if we want to read the post or delete it before reading. Maybe 
the subject line could even include  who the post is from, which might give 
added information about the subect (e.g., if it's from Daria it might be more 
about her health) or fromDornetta, about her twins)--or knowing from whom the 
post is might give us an idea of the tone of the post , knowing how various 
people write, smile

      They're testing to see if they've affected her. She's being treated at a

      maybe it's no longer a problem, with new staff and more volunteers, like 
      me, who like to chat on the volunteer list so we get to know each other 
      personally and  care about each other. There is another list for 
      non-volunteer chat but it's theoretically to discuss books and I never go 
      to it. One list is enough for me.
