RE: purpose of lis-pub-libsabsolutely Chris, I entirely agree, with all your points. Good evening list, au revoir! ----- Original Message ----- From: Hall, Chris To: [log in to unmask] Sent: Thursday, May 02, 2002 4:24 PM Subject: Re: purpose of lis-pub-libs It's been a long day and I heartily endorse Chris's last point. I know I was instrumental in prodding the wretched animal (though I didn't wake it in the first place), but perhaps now it's had a bit of a run around it can hop back into its basket and drop off again. Funny, isn't it, how an issue like this generates far more heat than any debate on library issues as such!

No-one has (yet) mentioned Jon Gordon's PLUS General list where these issues are increasingly being discussed. There's been some good stuff on there recently. Perhaps Penny and Jon could get together to talk about which list is for which? I have to say, though, from experience on other lists that I wouldn't advocate doing much more than that. Trying to be too definite about what goes where, who can say what, who can join and who can't, simply puts subscribers off. What one person thinks is relevant another thinks is completely irrelevant. I've even known this sort of "where is the list going" discussion to result in a drop in list membership, with development lists being set up. It may be an idea just to let sleeping dogs lie...
