I agree. I Perhaps we could send birthday greetings to the person off list.
I've done that sometimes, but then when I see everyone else putting them on
list I don't want people to think I Don't care,, so I add mine. But we should
send personal messages--congratulations, condolences, whatever, to the person
directly or to the other bookshare email list,
i.e.,bookshare-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx

Hi everyone,
I would like to politely request a lessening of the off-topic discussion on
this list. I joined this list in order to keep in step with the evolving
nature of volunteering for Bookshare. I completely understand and appreciate
that off-topic discussion helps bring a volunteer community closer, but I am
finding it very difficult to keep up with the posts actually related to
volunteering lately, as there are so many completely unrelated messages mixed
in. A multitude of other online venues exist where it is more appropriate to
chat about holidays, musicians, birthdays, politics and other such subjects,
but this list is pretty much the only place to chat about volunteering for
Bookshare. In the interest of continuing to make volunteering the great
experience it is, I hope that most of the off-topic discussion here can be
posted elsewhere. I am not trying to point fingers or be a downer, nor am I
asking for a removal of all off-topic discussion, but
the sheer volume of off-topic posts lately has simply been overwhelming.
Thanks for reading!
