Wahoo! There is progress. It's just hard to be patient sometimes. I know
that's a problem for all of us sometimes, but progress does come. It's just
slow sometimes, especially considering what we have to work with financially
as an organization, as has been said before. Take care.

Funny that you should mention text files today. You now have the
capability to upload txt files as rtf on step two. This should help to
cut down on page breaks being lost during the editing process.
