[stylist] Decreasing number of messages

Shawn,
Yes, you were one of the five whose work I finally got around to carefully
reading and letting you know how I felt about the exceptional writing. But I
fully accept that one cannot forever follow a subject if it appears to be
way out of date. It is my fault for not keeping up.
My priority has to be poetry, my class, and several writing projects.
However, I just wanted to let all of you know how much I do appreciate your
response to new writing suggestions on this list and the quality of the
critiquing.
So consider it said again. 
I promise to use new subject lines from now on, unless I answer something
right away.
Thanks so much for your feedback.
Jackie

I hope I'm not one of these people who stonewall you.  I appreciate it when
you take the time to critique my work.  I've sent out some things that have
elicited no comments at all; and this is frustrating; if it sucks, let me
know.  That's what I throw my stuff into a writer's discussion group for.

Having said that, I do not follow every threat of conversation on the
mailing list.  I do try to follow the ones that interest me and where I
think I can contribute something worthwhile.  That means, for instance, I
don't follow a lot of the screen reader technical talk and songwriting is
not something I know a lot about.

I do think that the volume on this site comes and goes in cycles.  I think
that a small number of people do most of the writing and when they are too
busy with other things to write much, then the volume on the site goes way
down.

Anyway, the best.

Shawn

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
