Gillian,
I agree with you completely. Personal conversation should stay off the
list. Don't we have our own email accounts for this purpose? MEDLIB-L is
often so full of trivia unrelated to the profession that it is very
difficult to subscribe to other listservs (you could spend so much time
deleting!) Also, the volume and trivia is the reason we have the drop
outs. If a Chat-line for medical librarians is desired, then fine, someone
should start one.
