IMPORTANT - soloist, please note: in order to limit the number of languishing projects on our server, we ask that you post an update at least once a month in your project thread, even if you haven't recorded anything. If we don't hear from you for three months, your project may be opened up to a group project if a Book Coordinator is found. Files you have completed will be used in this project. If you haven't recorded anything yet, your project will be removed from the forum (contact any admin to see if it can be re-instated).

Please don't download or listen to files belonging to projects in process unless you are the BC or PL. Our servers are not set up to handle the greater volume of traffic. Please wait until the project has been completed. Thanks!

Have finished recording the first 15 essays (not yet edited). These are not terribly long and the recurring intros became annoying, so I decided to abandon a file for each essay and group the essays into files as Leacock grouped them. So will not need all the headings that I first indicated. Sorry for the extra work! :oops:

Extra sections deleted and Project Screen page information updated. Deleting sections is much easier than adding them.

I would suggest that each section begins and ends with the book number. For example, "Book 1 The Outlines of....." and at section end, "...end of part 5 and End of Book 1."
or,
Since you do mention the book number near the end of the intro you should also mention in the outro as well.
