Well, I can't deny that I am flattered to have created sufficient buzz to have
caught the attention of the Most High Himself. <grin> I wonder how often he
weighs in on issues discussed on this list? Not once previously in the five
months since I've been on it.
Thanks.

Hi, Evan! Since I have heard both Gerald and Jake comment to the effect that
they are addressing this issue, I chose to stick with the issue at hand,
particularly given the amount of discussion about it last weekend. <Smile>
Take care!

No criticism intended, but I couldn't help wondering if the effort expended
consulting him about this issue might have been better employed asking him to
weigh in on the order in which books are approved. I believe there's some
meeting this week in which this will be brought up, if I'm not mistaken, so
perhaps this issue will be rectified very soon. But I would imagine that a
sentence from On High would make any other discussions unnecessary.
And there is no controversy about this one. I haven't heard anyone come
out in favor of the current situation in which the most recent books are
approved first while books validated months ago languish in the queue.

Hi, Everyone! Here is a response from Jim Fruchterman regarding the
question of em-dashes. Sorry, I just realized that I forgot to send it over
last night. <Smile>

Thanks, Jana. I took a look at the digest from Saturday, and I assume the
answer is that we don't want to move away from the way the book was printed: we
have made a commitment to publishers and authors to work to bring the scanned
texts closer to the original. If we have a preference from Braille readers to
change our Duxbury output, I'd rather keep the focus on that.
