Hi Amy.

This is a Norman Spinrad. I loved his stories when I was a kid. I think this is why. (The story title is uncapitalized)

Hi Dale,
I can see why subjectivity was memorable. It is quite a story. I have some PL notes.
Spoken For has a repeat at 4:00 to 4:07 of "The house where she and her father lived was a .." Please also reduce its opening silence to 1 second, its sending silence to 5 seconds, and reduce the amplification by 3db. It is at 92 right now.
Subjectivity needs to have its ending silence reduced to 5 seconds.
I will PL The Dope on Mars soon.
Thank you!
Amy

Hi Amy.

I hate that. It's just sloppiness on my part.

Spoken For is reloaded with corrections.

Thank you for catching that.

Hi Amy:

I don't know why the tail of Subjectivity was so long, but it is 5:00 not.

Checker says both files conform to the guidelines. so I have reloaded subjectivity.

https://librivox.org/uploads/alg1001/ssf064_subjectivity_spinrad_dg_128kb.mp3

Everything on each of these stories is the same. Thank you for taking your time to listen, and make my reading as good as they can be.

Hi Dale,
The Dope on Mars has a cough at 15:48 -15:50.
Thank you for updating the other two stories.
Have a good night!
