[This is from the Silent Talk Conference]

I had a very educational and useful exchange with the sysop of the BBS I
post from. I wish to ask you and anyone else who cares to comment; a
question:
     I have recently began uploading research data, lectures, etc. If you
or any echo users feel they are too lengthy, too boring, too provocative,
or are useful, informative, helpful or whatever, let me know. Your
responses will dictate whether I will continue the uploads. I only
recently received the ASCII files to these topics which I have been after
for some time. People on Silent Talk have in the past asked about this
kind of info. Others via netmail and on other BBS' I roam about have
also. However, I seek to be certain the uploading is acceptable and
received in the spirit it is being shared. Mainly, to inform those who
have asked about it in the past and to provide info on recent research
and other such data relevant to deaf topics. So let me know if the
uploads are beneficial or not.
     The files I have are mostly documents of some length by researchers
and/or lecturers whom I have contact with on a fairly regular basis. I
once experimented with taking pieces out of the documents and they read
kind of funny being out of context and all. However, one of the things I
have just learned is that long uploaded messages requiring sequential
uploading can have the appearance of domninating the echo. That's
unintentional and I see the need to avoid doing just that if it is indeed
perceived that way.
