[From Bookshare.org Volunteer Home site] Signing up for the volunteer list "Do you like reading fifty emails a day on everything from scanning best practices to lunch spots by LAX?" If the answer is yes, then join the volunteer list! It seems to me nothing is off topic.

This subject came up before.At that time, the general consensus was that most people liked being able to talk to each other about the various off-topic subjects that came up, including Guido and Pratik's humorous posts. We feel like friends, and share things, serious and trivial. As long as we put OT and the subject on the subject line, people who aren't interested can just delete without reading. It is true, unfortunately, that people are forgetting to put OT when the subject changes from what it was originally. But readng the first line can tell one.
