Now that you have decided to do less validating for Bookshare, are you going to 
write the book from the e-mails from Bookshare?

I may be too close to bookshare but I am increasingly concerned about the 
relationship between staff and volunteers. The end result seems to be 
confused volunteers, confused about a variety of things over what seems to 
me to be a long period. My being very active may simply annoy the 
bookshare staff at this point and serve no useful purpose. I will continue 
to work more slowly but will still volunteer. I care deeply about bookshare 
and the volunteer community we have created.
