HI Cindy,
Remember that the decision we made to use three asterisks came from long
discussion of the issue years ago. This was the preferred solution as per
input of many users then. And this is what is done often in print books.
I'm sorry we can't please everyone all of the time, but we never will, and
changing something that is working and has been for years seems counter
productive to me.
Just my opinion.
Mayrie

Right. I'm doing that, and have been doing that, but I was wondering if it
might be less annoying to people if instead of asterisks we wrote [blank
lines, or [empty lines, or [white space] the way we write [blank page] when
there is one. Some books I've proofed lately has so many sections separated
by empty space--blank lines; it was just a suggestion. Maybe reading the
words would be just as annoying as reading/hearing so many asterisks. smile
