Gary,
Is "Whom the Gods Would Destroy" what you're switching
from? Neither Judy nor I scan--we just validate. I'm
willing to validate what you scan if you submit it and
put Hold for Cindy on it. It will take a while,
though, since Judy isn't in any hurry and I have a few
other things to do first. I will do it before the huge
volumes I have downloaded, though.
However, if someone else wants to do a fresh scan of
it, please post here so Gary and I both know.

If someone's doing them, let me know.
