Thanks Jeanne, Bill and Pat for responding. Pat, I think your last sentence really hit the nail on the head. Without increased participation, this list is really just taking up space. It seems to me that we have such a wonderful opportunity to dialogue with other OT's, especially about topics that can be difficult to talk about face to face with co-workers. I think your situation about the PT hiring is a great example of what I'm talking about.
Bill mentioned rude responses. I know from my experience on other lists, that a couple of rude responses can really turn-off posters. I try moderating such messages, but it can be a 'sticky' position between expressing one's opinion and being rude. I guess the bottom line is that at the OTlist exists for US to use how we see fit. If anyone has suggestions on how to improve the list, please let me know, either on or off the list!
