Dear all interested parties:
Since I use Outlook, I just set up a folder and a rule to dump all out
of office messages in that folder. I can go back later and make sure
that I didn't need any of the emails before I send them to that
electronic trash can.
I second Laura's mild gripe about thanking folks without saying what is
the answer. It's good to see the answer and can prevent similar
questions in the near future (oh, say, five or six minutes. <grin>)
I'll return the control of your TV set to you know.

re: out of office replies: Nope. We've tried for years to tell
librarians to UNSUBSCRIBE before they leave town, but .... To me though,
it's a small price to pay for the joy of being able to call on my fellow
librarians for their expertise. And isn't it nice that they don't want
to miss a single law-lib message even though they are out of town
(personally, though, I unsubscribe - there is a limit! :-)
re: My real gripe (mild): Yours is at least the 3rd "thank you" message
posted this week where the person who posted the question neglected to
post the ANSWER for the rest of us to learn from. PLEASE, everyone,
don't just say thank you, if there is the slightest chance that at least
one other law-lib member might like to know the answer to the question
you posted. Post the answer! Just because a couple people respond to the
list, doesn't mean the perfect answer didn't go to you and you only. A
lot of people are Reply-All-shy. So strip out the personal data, but
post the responses.
Many thanks,
Laura

Subject: RE: LexisNexis account consolidation
Thanks for all the helpful comments.
Is there a way to send a message to law-lib without getting 25
out-of-office replies in return?
