Not to mention, smile, that I at least have been doing the double posting,
and people have always been happy to see what books I am doing. I have
recieved requests for books because of the ones I advertize on this list as
well as the other one, and It also lets people know what kind of books i am
willing to edit.
So I continue to send the book submission emails.
I also don't usually have the time to check daily to see what everyone has
been up to, this is easier for me.
Smile.
J.M.O. but first time in almost three years I have heard people unhappy with
the way I do things.

I like to see what people have submitted in case their might be a book I
would be interested in reading, or, if I have the time, to validate. It
gives me something to look forward to. I find it easier to look at a
post then sift through the books in process or step 1 pages.
Also not everyone is a vollunteer.
