This is a problem with Jim's messages. Jim, you do not sufficiently clarify
what you mean. I thought I had it straight--that you meant any book we
download from Bookshare. But now people are interpreting it in such a way
that I no longer understand. I am a validator and have never shared a
bookshare.org book with anyone. But please, everyone needs to understand
what you are saying.
Thank you for clarifying.
