I am copying this to the volunteer discussion list because your question
makes me think that replying to you personally may not be getting
through. When you sent me the list of questions I remembered replying
immediately saying that I would have to get to them later and, as a
matter of fact, I did so the next day. I went through each of your
questions and gave my answers after each one in braces. I should still
have that email in my sent folder and if I can find it I should be able
to copy it and send it to you again. But I am going to have to put you
off until the next day again because it has gotten a bit late here. Let
me know if you get this message either personally or on the volunteer
list. I was wondering why you were taking so long to upload it because
the questions seemed to be the last step in the proofreading process. It
looks like you never got my email though.
