Hello Max,

If the automatic checker flags the book as adult content, you are allowed to
change this flag.  Volunteer judgement appears to take precedence.

Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Identifying and Flagging Adult Content

My second validation has put me in a quandry as to, of all things, the
Adult Content flag.  It's a rather dry book by Charles McGregor Burns,
"Running Alone...." and discusses the tendency of modern presidents to
ignore their party organization.

There are, nonetheless, various quotations that include the dreaded
Effenheimer or F-bomb, as spoken by various politicians.  I'm sure the
software will flag it; but is it my job to override that determination?

There's nothing salacious in the book, and I'd feel stupid making a high
school student jump through extra hoops in order to read it.  What's a
validator to do?
