Hi Cindy!

Thanks for being so concerned about our reading experience while listening to our daisy readers.

I wouldn't mind three asterisks.  They wouldn't fly by too fast for me.

A short while ago a member posted that when she read by listening (is that Daisy?) with punctuation off the bracket at the end of a description and asterisks that indicate several line spaces between sections went by so quickly that it was hard to process them mentally. I responded with a post that asked if it would be preferable for me to write the words, i.e., asterisk(instead of using the symbols) and end of description ( instead of a final bracket at the end of a description; no one responded yea or nay. Today a member told me that when she's listening the words asterisk(s) are somewhat disrupting. I have in the past beenusing only one or 2 asterisks; I understand many people use 3; maybe then they wouldn't fly past so fast. In the book I'm proofing now I'm using the words, and I won't go aack to change what I've done,but I can continue using the symbols or continue using words, and I'd like to know what's preferable for the next books I proof.
