nope.  i am totally unrelated to both, thank you very much.

i love project gutenberg -- well, mostly michael hart --
as _the_ premiere cyberlibrary and shining example of
unlimited distribution, and i hope that some of my work
helps to further the cause.  i'm also happy to give p.g. my
gift of constructive criticism.  but i'm not connected to p.g.
nothing i say or do should reflect positively or negatively on
project gutenberg, not in the slightest way, shape, or form...

i also respect distributed proofreaders greatly -- well,
the brainstorm (and hard work) of charlez franks that
created a great example of distributed collaboration,
as well as the _many_ volunteers who give so willingly
and generously of their time and energy to the cause --
and i'd be happy to give my gift of constructive criticism
to d.p. as well, but d.p. doesn't seem to want it much.     :+)
further, nothing i say or do should reflect on d.p. either.

i'm sure everyone knew this -- my independence is clear --
but i'm quite happy to repeat it out loud just for the record...

indeed, if i didn't think larger issues were at stake here
-- including building infrastructure for our cyberlibrary
and the best practices workflow for digitizing p-books --
i wouldn't bother giving my gift of constructive criticism
here and other places in cyberspace.  but there is a need...
