Recently, I completely lost my sanity when a 'librarian' on my listserv asked for ideas of what to do with a class for 30 minutes!!!!! REALLY!!! Seriously!!! She did not know what to do with a class full of kids for 30 minutes. So thank you for you blog, I love your reviews.

Even after two, count 'em, TWO posts on how to change your digest mail preferences many people were sending messages straight to the list asking for someone to change their settings. Rule number one of listserv etiquette is that you save the welcome message you get when you sign up so you know how to leave or manage your account. Come on, folks, it's just not that hard. Meanwhile, things over at the major listserv many are frustrated with have not improved at all. I think the wrong people read our rant! ;) --Cindy Gotta love today on CCBC-Net (not a listserv prone to this sort of nonsense at all).

I can't understand why it is easier to type in a question and wait for others to do your research. LAZY! I have dropped several listserves for this same reason.

Allegedly my local branch of the library has this one on the shelf at the moment - I might pick it up tonight. I need a break from all the major downer books I've been reading recently.

Maybe someone should send this link out to the list? I just joined this list, too, and get it in digest, which can be nearly impossible to read since people don’t cut and paste.
