Hi, Tracy! Sorry for the confusion. I do like Guido's suggestion to
include warnings at the end of the long synopsis. Then we can just leave
the Adult Content rating up to the automated tool. <Smile> Perhaps since
there's so much confusion, a Bookshare staff member should comment on this
one. As for the age when one is considered an adult, I believe that on
Bookshare, it's age 18, but I'm not positive about that.
