Hello Everyone,

Before I get started, please keep in mind that I am by no means this list's 
moderator, I recognize that and am just providing some ideas for what they may 
be worth to those in charge.

One idea for controlling list traffic might be to modify the list configuration 
so that replies to messages automatically go directly back to the individual 
who sent the message rather than the list's address.  If a reply were intended 
for the entire list, the person would then need to make a special effort to 
include the list's address in the To or CC line.

Another idea might be to create a separate list for general chat within the 
Bookshare volunteer community.  In such a scenario, a new list called, perhaps, 
bksvol-chat, would be created with pretty much an "anything goes" level of 
moderation.  After that's up and running for a couple of weeks, the moderators 
of this list would tighten the reins, indicating that bksvol-discuss is really 
intended for topics directly relevant to volunteering with Bookshare.org.

Whatever steps are taken, we all must not offend anyone and also must show 
great appreciation for all who scan and validate books for this project.  
Without all of you, we blind / visually impaired readers would have nothing to 
read.  Please keep up the excellent work!
