Cindy, I do not remember her being introduced to us on the list either. If these people are going to write to the list, it seems they should first introduce themselves by telling us the info you have requested. I had never heard of Julie Carpenter either.

When I started to write the address I see I have in my address book Nicole for Pavi, so I guess the answer is yes. But I see that below you say you're part of the Volunteeer program. Whatever you are, welcome. Have you replaced Pavi, or Rick? I may have missed the announcement of your coming on board, or forgotten Whatever, you're welcome; you have a polite and calming way of writing. Please let us (or me, if I'm the only one who doesn't know) you're position and whenyuou joined bookshare/benetech.
