What can I say... it's a gift (or perhaps a curse). I notice things like that all the time. Found at least three typo/spelling errors in the book [you know the kind that went through the whole publishing process with professional proofreaders, which I guess considering the volume of words is really quite trivial] I read last night. Maybe I can find a way to turn that talent into some cash as I would find some of that useful for getting the things I actually use (food, clothing, shelter, entertainment, computer equipment, etc. :) Know anybody who needs a proofreader?

nitpick ---> "quality" should be "qualify"
thank you jeff, this made me laugh at loud! how many "proofreaders" here did that slip by? but given _enough_ eyeballs, all typos are shallow... ;+)

p.s. of course, that's what happens when you press a deadline. but at least a response from project gutenberg got in... :+)
Yes, I hope it makes a positive difference.
oh yeah, i ordered a project gutenberg d.v.d a while back, and the service was prompt, friendly, and quite excellent. the d.v.d., along with a c.d. that was included free as well, is sitting here on my desk. thanks to three decades of volunteers!
Great!! Enjoy.. Jeff
