Hi Lynn.
You may regret joining the list. It's useful, but it's also a monster
with a squillion messages a day. But welcome!
I believe you would submit your much-improved copy as a BSO, i.e., put BSO
as the first word in the title. That indicates that it is a re-submit,
meant to replace an inferior copy already in the collection.
I too hate reading manuals, but the volunteer manual does have some good
suggestions.
