so, jim, would you like to do the work to find those diffs? or do you want me to give you the list? let me know, jim.
I suggest you give the list to PG, and ask them to verify and fix any bugs you found BB. Once a book goes to PG I have no more ability to fix that book than you do. I ship books to PG when they will accept them, and when I find that I am not making any more forward progress on them, and the press by my wife and children that I feed them and clothe them drives me on to other more pressing issues. I found and fixed many bugs in the PG version, and at least in my version got rid of the annoying ALL CAPS SHOUTING in 76. I hope in turn that you are able to build on my efforts, and that you find personal pleasure in donating your version forward to the world, and try not to spend too much time vacuously tearing down the efforts of others - those who are not in any way stopping you from doing that which you think you need to do to make a contribution to the world. It has never been my claim, but rather yours, that volunteer efforts should be flawless. Rather, my claim has always been that PG ought to invite efforts by volunteers to fix bugs, improve the quality of the collection, and move it forward, rather than have it frozen forever at one snapshot in time. And that the concept of a "high priesthood" of insider volunteers vs. an outside "unwashed mass" of volunteers is a very destructive conceit. I certainly agree with you that having a provenance for a PG book is a good thing, and where the oldie-moldies lack that provenance, I believe PG should encourage efforts by volunteers to go back and provide and match that provenance, rather than preventing such, and doing so should not require issuing a new number.
