Hi all:
I know the issue of giving out personal info can be extremely
problematic for a lot of people.
For people for whom this is the case, here's a suggestion. Create an
E-mail address/identity that is soley for bookshare matters. The main
thing is having somewhere to send questions as a proofer; it doesn't
have to be your main E-mail address.
Scott, isn't it true that you can list a "nickname" on your profile
which can be clicked to show the books you've scanned/proofread? If
this is still the case, create a nickname and then make an address
under that name.
I'm not sure if I'm making myself clear; if anyone wants
clarification, just let me know.
Courtney
