of course, i'm not really frustrated. i was, for a while, but i got over it... plus there was an offsetting benefit. because one of my big faults is that i positively love to say "i told you so". and i have had _lots_ of opportunities over the years to exercise that option. so, for me, it's all extremely amusing. it would have been better, for sure, if you had listened to me, allowed me to be useful, create a well-oiled machine, use the p.g. library to drive forward the reality of the future of electronic-books, and thus help the world be a better place. we surely wouldn't be stuck now with the notion that scan-sets are "good enough" for archive.org, and file-formats such as .epub and .mobi are all we can hope for. but i'm a firm believer in the karma that the world gets exactly what it deserves... so i hope you like what you deserve here. which is me telling you that "i told you so". -bowerbird
