Hi all..thanks for the feedback re. the renewal feature not working as
intended...I'll work with engineering on this. Please continue to let me know
off-line (via email to me) what you're seeing, so I can tell engineering.

I have a book due on 3/9/12 without a renew button, so it is not yet working
for
me. I have refreshed the page to be sure. I have not yet gotten a renewal
notice if it matters.
Looking forward to the option!

Hi all,
I was looking yesterday since my book is do on the ninth and the link
was not there. I just thought you might want to know as well. I just
checked and the link isn't there today either. I'll just keep my eyes
open.
Valerie, you're not the only one, no worries.

Hi all,
May I make a plea for more relevant subject lines? I just arose this
morning, and found an hundred and eleven email in my queue, yes
eleventy-one, as Tolkien would say. A large number of them have no
subject line except the name of the list. Please, folks, please, for
those of us who sort email by subject, determining what topics are
worth Reading and which can be deleted due to time constraints, it
would be really thoughtful and kind if you would put a relevant subject
line on your posts. The subject line is there for a reason, a cogent
one, in fact. Please remember your fellow list members and put
relevant subject lines on your posts.
Now, I am going back to the folder summary listing to delete all the
messages with empty subject lines because the subject, scanners,
doesn't interest me at this particular time. Thanks.
Ann P.

Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Matching Subject Line to Topic of Message, was Re: Op
Anne, it would be nice if the subject line really reflected the topic of
the message, but I think it is a lost cause. Every email list I have
ever been on has suffered from rampant topic drift. I tend to just
ignore the subject line and, in fact, the headers because they are
unlikely to tell me much. I know that by ignoring them I contribute to
the problem because then I will be replying to a message without having
even been aware of what the subject line might say, but occasionally,
when a request like yours comes along I will remember to change the
subject line. It doesn't do much good, though, because I cannot force
everyone else to do that and I drift back into just ignoring them again.
That causes me a bigger problem when I am replying to a message and
think it is in one list while it is in another. I suppose that also
contributes to the growth of off topic threads. Anyway, if you just
delete a message based solely on the subject line you will be missing
messages that you are interested in. If you do not, of course, you will
be wasting time with messages that you are not interested in. Then if
you plead for a stop to off topic messages you are at great risk of
starting a long thread about off topic messages and if you start one of
those then that thread is likely to drift into some other frivolity. I
think that perhaps the most effective way to cut down on email that you
have no interest in is to take a hard look at the lists to which you
subscribe. Take into consideration the ratio of noise to signal in each
of those groups. Take into consideration how valuable the signal in each
list is in relation to its noise. Then pick out some groups to
unsubscribe from. In the mean time, since I have just gotten your
reminder, I am changing the subject line on this message.
