Well, I guess some people have deleted the word gratitude from their
vocabulary list!

Umm, this wasn't an attack. I just got tired ofseeing that same link that I originally found showing up on Jake's site and still no one can bother giving proper credit. I feel it's only fair that if I spend over $300 on books for the community to enjoy that I'm at least credited with buying them. I don't want credit for scanning since Carrie did that. I'm not even asking for thanks and admiration. I just want to be given credit for what I've done. If you really feel that's an attack, I guess that's just one more reason to fade into the background. I'm not just going to let this fade away though since so much of my money and time are involved. I don't mind helping out the community and I believe in the general principles of free, open source software and the spirit that goes with it. I still don't think I'm asking too much though. Even free software gives credit to other developers. Finally, you seem to have overlooked something. I've changed my mind about shutting down Jake's site. I don't really want to do that and it would do more harm than good. Since he is appreciated by others, I'll leave his site alone. I'm just not going to do any more volunteering, buy more books, etc until this is resolved somehow. I don't expect it will be so oh well. I would rather save my money. If you have a way to solve this situation that satisfies all concerned, let me know off list. I'm willing to listen.To unsubscribe from this list, send a blank Email to bookshare-discuss-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx

Tony,
Attacks such as yours do not belong on any mailing list. Jake is a well-respected person, and as I understand his site, people add things because they want to help. He does not get paid for having his website.

Hi list. I don't want to nitpick here, but if you look through the bksvol-discuss archives from around May 2005, you will see that I was the one who originally posted the link that is listed below. It would be nice if I would get credit for my efforts. As a result of this and of Jake not giving credit for the 22 vintage radio books, I will probably no longer submit books or help out the community. Sorry to be this way about it, but I feel it's only fair for proper credit to be iven. I've repeatedly asked Jake many times since January 2006 to at least give me credit on his old time radio books page or whatever he calls it but he absolutely won't. I've decided that I won't shut down his account as I originally said I would in email to him, I just won't do anything else for the bookshare.org users. I'm of course willing to change my mind but not until this issue is resolved. I have several lists of awards (Hugo, bestsellers, etc) but I won't post them because I don't want them ripped off as being Jake's or someone else's work. I have also decided to postpone creation of the science fiction and mystery lists for that reason. The only exception is that I'll give Cindy her own mailing list for new books if she wants it but so far she hasn't. I haven't rejoined the volunteer list for the above reasons. Maybe as a community pressure can be put on Jake or others to change this attitude. Obviously people find his site useful. I wonder how he would like it if I stole his list of books he scanned and claimed them as my own even though I had nothing to do with them.
