    In especial in this case. Nora has been a solid Community member for many years at this point. The consortium she represents is one of our singular best test cases anywhere at all, since it is massive AND divers. Frankly, if it weren't for her, we'd be a much smaller lot of users and much further away from discussing a regionally specific listserv. So thank you, Nora. :)

    I have no desire to see things become insular, either. However, as a Community on the whole now, we're much larger than we were a decade ago. As Johnson points out, big is different. In this case, I think people are just trying to keep some noise off of the big list. Though one of my favourite things will remain Koha listserv messages in languages other than English. :)

My 2 beads worth,
