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

Hi all,
Interesting take on the matter. Hadn't thought of it that way, but
perhaps you're right. I guess what I object to is people who continue
an off-topic message for twenty messages or more and they keep putting
OT on them. <smiling> I always want to say, "If you know it's OT,
then why are you posting it here?"
I will keep your take on this in mind, though, E. Thanks for the
different slant.
Ann P.
