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.
