I read Ann's post before reading yours (of course I had no idea what it was
about). I echo everything she said--but I have to add that I once did the same
thing you did,only I hit the the download button instead of the History one.
It sounds as if whoever wrote to you to tell you to release the file just
doesn't know how to write graciously, or even politely.
Please, people. Before you write to anyone about anything, on or off the list,
think about the tone of the note and how it might sound to the recipient. If
you're afraid it might sound harsh or be hurtful, add a smile or some words to
soften it. Unfortunately, when we write things, tones of voice that might
soften words that we say aren't there. smile

My name is Gwen Tweedy I was on the volunteer list quite a while back I am
Robert's wife.
I came in to help bookshare as best as I can in any way I can. I have no
adgenda, I am not setting out to get credits unless it just happens for me. And
I certainly have no entent of taking any book, at any time from any person
period!
I was shocked to death at the email I received to release a book I had. I went
in just to peak at the books on the list I was just gonna run in and see what
a book was about and I was sure I hit the top one the title part not the check
out link I was totally surprised when it said downloading and I quick like a
bunny hit cancel right away but it must have done it anyway where it went I
have no earthly idea because it didn't even dawn upon me to check.
I had no interest in it, wasn't gonna proof the book so I just went on my
merry way doing other things.
I like to have had a heart attack when I found in my personal email a mailing
to release a book and sure enough when I went up there it was there as big as
life in my checked out thing.
If I get the chance to proof for someone somewhere along the way or scan a
book wonderful but if not wonderful as well.
I am just here, available with nothing in mind but to be supportive to
bookshare in particular and anyone person who needs it.
Thanks and my appologies to anyone I offended in this whole process.
As I told her, I am scared to death right now to download anything my
confidence level is zero at the moment and just hit the minus this morning.
hugs to those who want and need themhave a great day all and maybe I'll see you
along the bookshare volunteer trail.
Gwen
