Could -- but I wouldn't recommend betting the
family silver on it.

Oh, for sure, plenty of ideas, but if there's one thing I've learned
over the years it is that librarians don't take outside hints nor
suggestions, so I'm desperately trying to at least trigger librarians
to do something themselves, to do their own thinking and reaction.
Creating awareness of what librarians don't really want to know about
seems to be important enough, and hopefully my stupid, over-dramatic
participation here could trigger the smallest trickle of progress.
That would make me happy. I don't have any library job to lose which
also adds to my communique, I can only lose the potential of my
reputation and clout which, realistically, isn't as valuable as what
I'm fighting for.
Anyway. Off to pry fighting kids off each other with a crowbar.
Regards,
Alex
