Sue,
The blank lines that Carrie is talking about helps the stripper do its
job properly, so yes, she is referring to the overzealous and needs to be
improved or abolished stripper. *grin* can you tell I don't like the thing?

What?? They're missing? I put all 30 chapter titles on the appropriate
pages by hand on Saturday morning, since the OCR program ignored them. I
can't believe they're missing. Maybe it's that
no-blank-line-at-the-top-of-the-page problem. Anyway, in my new version,
there are blank lines at the top of each page including those pages with
chapter titles, and there are page numbers at the bottom of each page,
preceded by a blank line. I'll let you know when I resubmit the book, and
if you would be so kind as to download it again, please let me know if the
chapter titles are in the better improved version of HPATHBP. If not, I
will have a word with Gustavo and the 2 of us will put a version with
chapter titles on the db. Very frustrating!

wonderful
story, sad at the end, but wonderful.

First, I need to apologize for the garbage in the new Harry Potter book.
I
tried to clean it up, but Gustavo said that there were a lot of people
waiting for it, so I quick submitted it so he could approve it. I'm
planning on making the copy pretty and re-submitting it this weekend, so
it'll be better looking.
Second, I got an email from someone in Argentina BEGGING me for a copy
of
the book. He swore he wouldn't print it or pass it on to anyone else.
Yeah
right! He is clearly well-educated, uses excellent English, but has no
money for the book? Give me a break. Since only members can see my name
as
the submitter, a member must have shown him accidentally (or
intentionally?)
my name and email address. No, I'm not sending him a response of any
sort,
and I suggest that everyone else do the same if you get similar emails.
My
2 cents. [BTW, Gustavo checked his name, and he's not a member.]
Third, hi to everyone. Gustavo just put me back on the list today.
Anything happen while I was gone the past month?

Those of you who are surprised at the "260" number are forgetting
something.
Sure, a whole bunch of people considered important to read HP6 on day
one;
many others don't.
Secondly, even if someone viewed it essential first day reading, they
had
to know that Bookshare had it on day one.
As most subscribers are cassual rather than inveterate users, they were
(and probably still are not) aware of the availability.
I believe that either Janice or Gustavo last week mentioed that
BookShare
has around 3,000 active user accounts;
given that as a baseline, 260 in a little over a day represents nearly
10%
which is an amazing number to retrieve anything.
