Colleen,

I have been watching and not getting involved in this
debate, but I wanted to point out a couple of things. 
One, and I'm afraid a lot of people may not be aware
of this, is that the family literacy curriculum that
is being offered is from a commercial company, Jump
Start.  What they are going to send you are brochures
and advertising, showing you a curriculum you can buy.
 Frankly, I get enough of this type of information in
the mail all ready.

The other issue is just the sheer volume of messages
that are only requesting this information. I had over
20 NIFL-Family messages in my inbox on Monday, and
very few of them were anything but requests for
information.  It does not do the members of this list
any good to have to wade through all these messages. 
The main point is just to send those types of replies
directly to the person you are requesting the
information from.

I participate in three list servs, one for work and
two personal.  This is just common courtesy on the
internet.

I hope you don't leave the list.  I've been here since
September, when I started in family literacy, and have
received a LOT of great information.
