Chela, I see you saw Pavi's message. Did you, too, Jackie.
I guess that explainswhy I got the message. I must sasy I think it's a shame
that discussion such s she mentions can't take place on the bookshare discuss
list, ad long as the language stays polite. One wants to have such discussions
with one's friends, not on a list where one doesn't know people and a comment
id usually made in response to someone else's. And carrying on a discussion
offlist--I wouldn't do that unless I felt very srongly about the subject,--no
to make a mere reply. Too bad--but if I read and write less I'll get more
bookshare work done.

Filtering & List Courtesies
Hi
All,
Just a quick note
to let people know that if you receive MailServer Notifications regarding
Content Filtering, these are automated replies sent by the FreeList system
and
not by Bookshare. I do not know what content triggers these responses but can
check in with John Glass who manages the lists about this.
Also a few
reminders to all:
-
Neither of the
Bookshare lists are the appropriate place to air personal religious views or
comment on other people’s perspectives on the same. Same goes for discussions
of a political nature. There are other online forums for such matters. If you
wish to have conversations of this nature with Bookshare members or
volunteers
please remember to do so off-list.
-
Complaints/Negative
Comments about fellow volunteers: These lists are not meant to be used as a
place to voice personal feelings of unhappiness or annoyance with particular
individuals. If you are concerned about the work or communication style
of another volunteer please write in to me directly: pavim@xxxxxxxxxxxxx
regarding this so
that we may take steps to look into and address the situation. Following this
protocol moves us in the direction of finding a solution to the
problem.
-
As a courtesy to
fellow list members, when you do feel compelled to write the list regarding
something that does not directly concern Bookshare or volunteering with
Bookshare, including an Off-Topic message indication – a simple OT in the
subject line is appreciated. If the initiator of the email thread neglects to
do this, subsequent responders can remedy this by inserting it in their
replies.
From personal
experience I know that off-topic messages on the list are often rich with
humor, concern, and a general sense of camaraderie that goes a long way in
building strong ties among the community. Such tangents serve a valuable and
constructive purpose and I hope they will continue to
exist.
With these
clarifications and reminders made, I truly look forward to a more healthy and
positive environment on Bookshare’s lists that builds on the strengths that
already exist and help us grow further.
Warm
regards,
Pavi
