We complile notes into computer instructions all the time, it's not so terribly inefficient. How do you think the "posted" list gets created in the first place? I'm sure we will improve any such process a few times when we are first getting started, but in the end the important line can be parsed out of the message just like one of the volunteers always says the eBooks should be parsable, only on a much easier scale. . .use the same POV on both sides, when you are making your points, it's more believable.

my gawd, what a remarkable exchange.

we're talking about _files_, on the _internet_, with _known_ u.r.l., going through a standard progression of states.

and y'all think you need to handle this _manually_, by "sending notes"?

you haven't learned one thing about why all of your processes are _so_ inefficient, have you?  not a single thing!
