That's o.k., Shelley. I used to scan and answer
requests and try to fulfull the teachers'request list
that was on the site when I first joined over a year
ago, but I do prefer to validate, so you can scan for
me and I'll validate for you. (smile) Only I tend to
take difficult ones and so it takes me a while. Maybe
I'll take some easy ones. Unfortunately, until I
finish I probably won't be able to do much until
almost the end of December.
