I agree with everything Reggie said.
And expecting volunteers to wade through all the traffic on this list just
to find a book--well, that's just not going to happen. Many times I've
been tempted to unsubscribe, just to cut down on my inbox.
And I enjoy playing the field. I've gotten many books I might not have
thought of, and learned from them. I enjoy trying new things. But the
leftover Christian stuff on the held Q is just too far outside my
interests.
I've just re-made a partnership with a person who enjoys scanning, but
gave up when all the PQ books came in. We'll be working on an author we
both enjoy. When we're done with him, I expect my partner will disappear
back into the woods and I'll go back to the depressing list of hold fors.
I still think cutting down on the hold fors is a good idea. Every
community seems to develop cliques if folks aren't careful, and Bookshare
is no exception.
