MW coming up.

[craigdav1]

Just a suggestion...I might mention the Epoch # only in the intro of Chapter I and in the outro of the last chapter (outro of chapter 7 for Epoch the First). Same pattern in the MW title field. Again, just a suggestion.

[craigdav1]

Are we looking for a DPL?

[7A2c3Ml]

1) Thanks for taking on my project!
2) Yes, I do need a DPL
3) Wouldn't the same advice apply to Epochs Two and Three as well?

[craigdav1]

Wouldn't the same advice apply to Epochs Two and Three as well?

Yes.

I 've added a ~ in the subject line of the first post to let everyone know we are looking for a DPL.

[mleigh]

I can DPL if you would like.

Thanks,

M

I started listening and said I recognize that voice.
Didn't recognize the username but I sure remember what a good job you did on Catherine.

Good job.



Edit:

Removal of question.

please delete about 1.5 seconds of silence at the end so tat there is around 5 seconds of silence.

Thanks,

M

[7A2c3Ml]

Why, thank you!

[7A2c3Ml]

I THINK I've got it right, now. Puzzled how I could have been off by six minutes in the timing, though.
