Thanks to all those who took the time to give positive feedback,
especially to Bob for his kind words.  I believe that  volunteering  has
to be something that you enjoy doing.  I did enjoy doing the programming
that produces the daily updates, and the day to day maintenance takes
only a few minutes, so it's not something that takes up a lot of my time.

Since I am not a Bookshare member, I am kind of on the outside looking
in and I do appreciate any pointers or suggestions that would make your
experience here more enjoyable.  Please post your comments, be they
positive or critical.

Just a reminder that I have a mailing list for these daily updates.  I f
you would like them sent directly to your personal email address, post a
note to the discussion group or email me directly and I will put you on
the list.
