Dear Cindy, Katie, Gerald, Jill and Everyone, Re numbers, Katie, thanks for passing 27,065 along. It's a beautiful number and very encouraging. Do you think we'll reach 30 thousand by the end of 2006? re more numbers. When I uploaded my book today I noticed the bad words total for the first time because some of you alerted me that the tools were counting them. The tools said my book had almost 250 scorchers but it didn't appear to need an adult rating. I agreed. Wow, it didn't seem there were that many when I was encountering them one at a time. I put in my comments that they were used sparingly. hahahah. re January volunteer home page. I'll be apologizing to my computer all night. I was blaming it for not keeping up! re unsubscribing to the discuss list, I had hoped there would be more discussion of books listers read from the bookshare collection and promotion of books validators and scanners are happy to have had approved and added to the collection. With so many great books to choose from, I'd enjoy recommendations from other subscribers to make additions to the top of my to read list. One of the main reasons I stay subscribed is because I like getting to know members and volunteers. I like the personal and supportive messages. They humanize the great, Bookshare machine. As a volunteer, knowing the customers makes me want to please them all the more. Always with love, Lissi
