Hi, Ann.
I think bookshare.org is the list owner, or
freelists--but bookshare administrators made the same
request from time to time. smile We've been told time
and again that this list should be for posts related
to volunteering and problems and questions volunteers
have, and that the bookshare-discuss.org list is the
one for off-topic discussions.
The problem is that one, at least I, want to respond
to a post here and am not sure that the poster is on
the other list--or, as I said in a post, I think other
people on the list might benefit from or enjoy what I
have to say--perhaps a little conceited of me. smile
As you can see, I'm trying to reform and write
offlist--even though I just wrote a similar comment to
Dave. Now that brings up another point--one has to
write twice or more when one post to the list would
reach more people.
