Kim, I have no idea what happened, but I don't want anyone to quit because of a difference of book choices. I love all books and do not want any books to be band or burned. No one has the right to chose what I should read nor do I have the right to tell others what to read. If a book offends me I stop reading it. I have found what would have offended me ten years ago is now a good read. I tend to grow into books. All this being said I think the only issue for me is category labels so that it would be easier to find books one wants or avoid books one wishes to. I am very proud that Bookshare has so many books for all people. Any book anyone wants to add is a gift to us all. ----- Original Message ----- From: Jamie Prater To: bksvol-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Wednesday, September 09, 2009 3:29 PM Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Re: This is good-bye sort of. Hi, I agree with Kim and others. Please, Gwen and others who like your particular kinds of books and have numerous questions, stay here with us who are like you. Nobody's arrived by any means and knows everything, and there are many of us here who like clean fiction without strong language, explicit scenes, and horror and violence. It's a free country, and what I admire about bookshare is that they seem to have a greater variety than and fills the gaps in the NLS library collection. Hang in there and keep posting and volunteering. Have a blessed day. ----- Original Message ----- From: Kim Friedman To: bksvol-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Wednesday, September 09, 2009 3:12 PM Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Re: This is good-bye sort of. Oh, Gwen, don't leave the list. Don't assume you are causing problems for other people. Just knowing about your struggles and your overcoming them is encouraging to others. I, for one, would hate to see you resign. Maybe you might read stuff I wouldn't care to look at, but I certainly don't think less of you as a person. I'm a new kid too and haven't done by any means as much as you have done. Regards, Kim. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: bksvol-discuss-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:bksvol-discuss-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of gwen tweedy Sent: Wednesday, September 09, 2009 7:11 AM To: bksvol-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [bksvol-discuss] This is good-bye sort of.
