[Air-L] Inquiry on screen shots

[Richard Forno]

I agree w/Holly (and have also managed many *very* high volume lists over the years).   These active discussions - when they come up - are useful, thought-provoking, and make our tribe's list more than just a dumping ground for CFPs and job postings.   Sure, some topics interest me, others do not, but either way I just peruse them @ my leisure.  After all. that's what e-mail filters/rules and folders are for!   :)

It’s useful, relevant, and to me, what makes air-l vital. It could just become an announcements only list used to circulate CFPs and job announcements – and it sometimes feels like that what air-l is – but I and many others would hate that. I’m not at a university where I can have this sort of discussion with my colleagues. I rely on air-l instead.

I also read a lot and don't engage. I've been reading the ethics stuff viz screenshots for example but not felt the need to post (so unmanly). I like the discussion aspect of the list here.  Maybe I'm old fashioned. But without the discussion, it becomes just a space we post in without engagement, and I’m not so much interested in that.  I like when we raise issues and chat about them. I can easily delete stuff I don't mind wading through discussion threads if I am interested.  I delete what I am not bothered about (sorry folks!).   For me the list is a touch point, to keep connected with a community in the midst of (in my job) management, in another context I could imagine (a heavy teaching load in a school where research and educational enquiry isn't valued.  Different channels for different folks I say.   There I just said what Jean said, but used more words and space, because I'm a chatterbox - and likely coz I'm a man. Sorry folks/jean for manspreading virtually - but I hope this helps.
