Karen,
Thank you for pointing out the duplications. We have taken care of them. As
Cindy pointed out such issues are more swiftly addressed if you write in
directly to my address.
Thanks for your eagle-eyed attention and catching these doubles.
All good things,

karen,
It's definitely good to call duplications to the attention of bookshare.
Posting here is o.k., but the problem might be solved more quickly if you write
about it to ckarnos@xxxxxxxxx or pavi.m@xxxxxxxxxxxxx One of them can check it
out, see which is better or which was first and delete the other one--unless
for some reason they want two.
Cindy
