As a braille reader I prefer that the asterisk signs be used to preserve blank
lines in the print edition. However, if this creates a problem for those
listening to a book, who may be in the majority here, I would be willing to
change this practice. I'm afraid we will never have the perfect solution to
please all of the users of this wonderful service.

Subject: [bksvol-discuss] symbls vs words
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.
