I strongly suggest that you shorten the intros to either "Incidents in the Life of Dr. Benjamin Rush" , "Dr. Benjamin Rush, A Memorial" or simply "Dr. Benjamin Rush"

Similarly the filenames could just be

benjaminrush_##_rush_128kb.mp3

Thank you for MCing. I'll get started on the MW, I'll get the filename updated too. I like 'Incidents in the Life of Dr. Benjamin Rush', perhaps we go with (?)

autobiography_##_rush_128kb.mp3

Hello, may I claim section 20 "Death" and section 21 "Public Notice of Dr. Rush's Death" please? I know it's a bit of a jump from the sections that have been done so far but I hope there's no problem with that! :)

Thank you in advance,

Rodrigo :D
