>>it is not fair for you to write...."petulant raves"......you should be the
one removed from this list for such a personal attack<<

Please don't take it personally, that was not the intention. You are not the
only person who has brought up the issue of whether the listserv addresses
your personal agenda. This is not the first time, nor will it be the last.

My suggestion still stands: If there is a cohort of people whose specific
needs are not being met, write a petition, talk to the NCAL/NIFL folks, or
start a listserv of your own. Or ask those interested persons to address
your concerns. Charles Jannuzi has done this with the LAC group, using Yahoo
as the server. Instead of continually being unhappy because your needs are
not being met, why don't you be pro-active and start a group that does
discuss your issues?

My original point is that a listserv is alive only as long as there is
participation by its members. And perhaps there are not enough members who
share the same interests or feel a need to discuss them here on the NIFL
listserv. Some of them are just about struggling to stay afloat, some not so
sure this is the moment nor the venue for airing their struggles, or are
living the same circumstances as you are. Their silence does not mean they
are against you, nor that they do not advocate for their learners.
