As a reader of the list (first time post), I would have to agree with
Ms. Mahnk: The list would be very drab and boring (to say the least)
if we were to self-censor and limit ourselves to the rote request for
information. Whether I agree with a personal opinion or not, doesn't
get in my way of providing assistance (if I can), or learning from,
(more often the case) another librarian. I for one relish a bit of
personality seeping into the posts -
