Jim, I would suggest that if you're spitting blood by the time you finish a book that you're going at it too fast/forcefully. Slow down--there are no deadlines at PG. Re bowerbird - ignore him/it. Few, if any, aspects of PG (or DP) satisfy him/it, while little, if anything, that him/it does, satisfies anyone else.

Thank you Bowerbird, again, for making my points for me:
1) If I had submitted this book instead to DP there would have been a much larger number of punc errors introduced as "required" by the DP process.
2) We would all still be waiting for this book, because I prior submitted two books to DP after a considerable amount of work on my part and they have still to see the light of day. Someone with a practical knowledge of queuing theory needs to go over these issues with DP.
3) I know perfectly well that errors remain unseen, which is why I would like an input file format that easily allows another motivated volunteer to pick up where I left off when my children start complaining that they are unfed and unclothed and "reality calls" -- besides which by the time I am "done" with a book like "Dove" I am splitting blood and ready to do something else for a while -- rather than listening to Bowerbird insult my efforts and insult my integrity simply because I do not support his favored hack markup schemes -- which no one else wants to support either.
