[bksvol-discuss] Tedious? depends

Well, since I'm reading the book anyway, correcting
things as I go, moving the page number and adding line
spaces as necessary is no big deal. It's deleting the
one at the bottom of the page and hitting return to
create a line, and adding a n umber at the top of the
next page with the necessary line spaces--takes just a
second.

It would be tedious if I had to do chore by itself,
i.e., not as I was reading the book, I agree.
