[stylist] Decreasing number of messages

Jacque,
If you are concerned about the list running, ask David andrews who can tell 
you if any technical problems are occurring.
As to the decreased messages, remember that even in high traffic times, 
about six or seven participate.  I haven't gotten messages in the past week. 
Its just like that sometimes.  People are busy.
That said, now that I have more time, I thought about posting some 
questions.
Lists are not the only venue for feedback remember. Don't take lack of 
traffic, even to your own writing, personally.
I'd suggest joining a live writing group like at your library for
ongoing feedback.

No I don't think its your email program since on my end this list was quiet 
in the past few weeks. Don't worry, it will liven up again.

Robert,
I wrote recently to comment on what I thought were lost e-mails, and was
assured that it was not related to the work on the website. However from
just before that work, I had spent many hours sending feedback, comments, a
new poetry form to Myra, etc. to regular members.
In my experience, it is not normal for all of those to completely stonewall
someone. This is about the third time this has happened in my history on the
list.
Just a few comments on that. I am frustrated when I spend a lot of time, and
there is no response. I am saving a great deal of time now because all but a
very few have dropped off.
However, the input from the wider group has provided an on-going education
which is invaluable.
So how do I know what the real problem really is. Perhaps everyone just
found the process too time-consuming?

When Slate & style shows up on our website, it is one issue behind Meaning,
spring is coming out and will be sent to people in a couple of weeks. Then,
the winter issue will go up on our website, and will not show up on-line
until the Summer issue is sent out to members/subscribers.
(Members/subscribers get to see it first)

I initially was distributing S & S as an accessible PDF, but quite a few
people did not like this. I know this is different from offering various
formats on the website, but the PDF, though fully accessible, didn't seem a
popular option.

Good morning everyone,

When Slate and Style is placed on the Web site in addition to the online

version it's offered in three downloadable file formats, ASCII, Rich Text,
and Microsoft Word. If Robert could send them to me I could also place
electronic Grade II Braille files on the site too. We can also generate
Adobe PDF versions for those who would like it that way. One or more of the
downloadable versions currently available should work for you so give them
all a try.

Peter Donahue Webmaster
