[MOSAIC] Reminder to the list

[CNJPALMER at aol.com]

I just want to gently remind folks that the purpose of our list is to  
discuss reading comprehension teaching...and those topics that impact upon it. I  
worry when we stray to far from our original purpose that we may lose members  
who come to us to learn about comprehension. It has happened before. I also  
promised Ginger, when I took over moderation of this list, that I would work  
hard to keep it true to its intended purpose.
 
I totally understand that most of us teach more  than reading and that the 
level of expertise here is so high that our list makes  a great place to seek 
out information regarding topics other than  reading. I have done this myself at 
times. I am going to request  that when an email is labeled "off topic" and 
requests  info on that topic to be emailed off list, that we follow up and send 
emails  off list instead of hitting the reply button. Does that  make sense? 
 
Thanks for understanding...
Jennifer
