switching such items to the bookshare discuss list rather than the volunteer
list would help

I have finally caught up with my email. I don't know how long that will last
though. It would not surprise me if I logged on tomorrow and found another
hundred plus messages waiting for me. That is why I would like to make a few
suggestions concerning holding down list traffic. By no means do I want to try
to squelch off topic threads even though they could stand to be held down a
little. Besides, the next time I start one I can always say that everybody else
is doing it. However, there are a few kinds of messages we could do easily
without. For one thing, I think that messages announcing that a title should be
added to or removed from the books being scanned list could be sent privately
to Cindy. Other messages that are clearly list business but do not need to be
seen by everyone on the list might be handled that way too. It would be good if
you could think of whether it could or not before you post. Also, there are a
lot of messages that contain
nothing but thank you or congratulations or chuckle and every now and then a
message that entirely consists of LOL. I really do not see that these serve any
purpose at all, but if you think they do then those might be sent privately
too. I just ask you to think before you click the send button and ask yourself
if this message either contributes to the purpose of the list or to the off
topic thread in which you are participating. I think that part of the problem
is that there are just a lot of subscribers here and that on a smaller list
those kind of messages would be hardly noticed but when so many people are
sending them it can really fill up the in box fast. Now, even as I have been
typing this I hear the sound of arriving email, so here I go falling behind
again.
