Kim,
I have no idea what happened, but I don't want anyone to quit because of a 
difference of book choices.  I love all books and do not want any books to be 
band or burned.  No one has the right to chose what I should read nor do I have 
the right to tell others what to read.

If a book offends me I stop reading it.  I have found what would have offended 
me ten years ago is now a good read.  I tend to grow into books.

All this being said I think the only issue for me is category labels so that it 
would be easier to find books one wants or avoid books one wishes to.

I am very proud that Bookshare has so many books for all people.  Any book 
anyone wants to add is a gift to us all.

  Hi, I agree with Kim and others.  Please, Gwen and others who like your 
particular kinds of books and have numerous questions, stay here with us who 
are like you.  Nobody's arrived by any means and knows everything, and there 
are many of us here who like clean fiction without strong language, explicit 
scenes, and horror and violence.  It's a free country, and what I admire about 
bookshare is that they seem to have a greater variety than and fills the gaps 
in the NLS library collection.  Hang in there and keep posting and 
volunteering.  Have a blessed day.

    Oh, Gwen, don't leave the list. Don't assume you are causing problems for 
other people. Just knowing about your struggles and your overcoming them is 
encouraging to others. I, for one, would hate to see you resign. Maybe you 
might read stuff I wouldn't care to look at, but I certainly don't think less 
of you as a person. I'm a new kid too and haven't done by any means as much as 
you have done. Regards, Kim.

    I shall still be reading certainly and I certainly will be scanning and 
submitting books as well,  but sense I have been on this list I have created 
more trouble than I have meant to and I truly do ask your forgiveness for this 
I honestly didn't mean to create any troubles here but I seem to manage to do 
so and y'll don't need that so that you can relax now I will be leaving the 
list. Thanks for the help of those who did it's been a pleasure knowing y'all 
thanks a million
    Gwen
