Hi, gang, Kim here, speaking for myself, I'm really not trying to thumb my
nose at anyone. I know the business of the list is to deal with scanning and
proofreading, but now and then, I'll read something which peaks my interest,
so naturally, I want to put my two cents in. Think of me as your comic
relief while you're slogging along. By the by, I've noticed a couple of
books submitted by Roger Drewicke. Do I contact him or just grab a file?
Regards, Kim aka Ellinder.

Hi Ann,

The answer to why, if people know something is OT, they keep posting it
here--in Bookshare's case anyway, is that Bookshare has stated on more than
one occasion when the subject of off topic messages has come up, that they
feel that a certain, moderate, amount of off topic discussion is okay
because it helps to  foster a greater sense of community among the
volunteers. I agree with that idea, by the way. There's been a time or two I
recall, when things really got out of hand in the OT department. But most of
the time, the list seems to work pretty well with a bit of tolerance for OT
messages..

Evan
