One suggestion that I would make is that contributors to the listserv
use subject lines that reflect the topic discussed. Rather than "FYI",
a title of "Presidential Reading Habits" would have given readers a
better picture of what to expect in the discussion. I enjoy these
lively debates and appreciate their relevance to our field, but
regrettably I just don't have time to spend the day pondering political
opinions.
On a related matter, I also don't have time to spend reading personal
notes between participants. Despite repeated requests from
contributors, there continues to be much confusion on how to send a
private message. Is it possible to add specific instructions to the
information that attaches to every message?
I don't want to give up this valuable source of information, but I have
found that it is starting to take a great deal of time to sort out the
postings that help me improve services to our students.

I'm so tired of this track, that from now on I'm just deleting
anything
related to it. I have no problem with discussion of any political
issue...even with opinions...but having a differing opinion is
different
than name-calling and being disrespectful. I would expect members of
this listserv to know the difference.

I apologize in advance to those I may offend, but why are some of us
"getting our knickers into such a twist over this"? I mean if you saw
one of his televised campaigns to push privitizing Social Security
that
I viewed early one morning this week, you might agree with the opinion
of the afore mentioned writer and as his budget directly influences
our
work, jobs, and lives, I'd say he's fair game for discussion and
opinion.

Gentle People, Who was it that said something to the effect that
whether
or not I agree with what a person is saying, I will defend to my death
their right to say it??? Last I knew, this country allowed free
speech.
Has something changed here?

Personally, I am appalled that someone would have the audacity and the
disrespect to call the President of the United States an "idiot".
That
lack of respect and the thoughts of disdain that fuel it are the
idicators of the shift that is harming the very fiber of our country.
I am removing my name from this listserv. I was unaware that this
group, which--or so I thought--was formed to help others, to uplift
and
inspire. I am shocked at this type of correspondence. What a shame
that some would take advantage of this venue to vent political hatred!

I apologize. I did not intend for my comments to be distributed to
the
entire listserv. Again my apologies. I did not mean to offend anyone
and agree that it would be unprofessional to solicit my individual
opinion to everyone.
