I want to concur with this. I like the idea that John is going to be more
active here. I understand what Jim is saying about a strong organizational
presence on a list inhibiting discussion, in theory anyway, since I haven't
been on one of those lists, but I think Bookshare may have gone too far in
the other direction. Moderation in all things.

Thank you, John and Jim.
Yes, John's answers on the list will be helpful, I'm sure, to more than just the person asking the question, because we all benefit from each other's problems and answers. Plus, it assures us that someone is paying attention--which we don't know is happening if we can't see it, since only once have I seen someone post that John (or anyone else) replied to them offlist.
Jesse and Marissa set the standard of public responses, and so I guess we've come to expect it. smile

The relatively background nature of our participation on this list was not an accident. You as a community are able to answer most questions and develop the collective wisdom that has helped build Bookshare.org. I've seen lists where the vendor presence is so strong, that conversation is inhibited and the value of the list community is reduced.
From my many years of experience working with John, I think you will be hard pressed to find someone as knowledgeable and diligent when it comes to supporting adaptive technology. I'm sure that John will be very responsive to emails where it's clear that you are looking for a direct response from him.
John has also let me know that he'll respond publicly on the list more frequently, because you've asked for a higher profile from us.
