    Its a great story, and very funny:T

    One thing though, would it be possible to BCC the e-mails sent to the subscribers??
  • Lizzielie,

    Thanks for the compliment.

    I'm not usually dim,:o but what does BCC mean?

    She means so that everyones email addresses aren't shown on the chapters we receive.

    If these are put a bcc (blank carbon copy) it means that we can't see them.

    Am I right in thinking that the book you win is all sent to you by email and is not an actual book.

  • What defines a book?

    Many words are mistakenly taken to describe only the most obvious of meanings. A 'Tree' for example. 99.99% of us would immediately think of a wooden trunk growing from the ground, with branches extending and further sprouting leaves. The 00.01% out there would think 'A tree is a list of names or facts that branch out from one beginning', such as a family tree.

    Dictionary.com has this description at the twelfth level. This is a description of my book!

    12. anything that serves for the recording of facts or events.

    Generally a book is a written form of text in any format that describes something in whatever form the author wishes.

    But some call my book an e-book (technically yes). It is in fact an 'email book', and can only be read in this fashion to bring a sense of realism in time to the whole journey and events that lead on to each other.

    But if the truth be known, I don't give a monkeys what anyone wishes to call it.:cool:

    I just thank anyone who has the interest to read and enjoy it!:T

    p.s: I have changed the delivery system to BCC all episodes sent.
  • I for one am loving it Jerry! I used to live in Cairns so can relate to being eaten alive.

    Now everyones a winner:)
  • Hi Folks,

    Unfortunately todays BCC send created a lot of returned mail due to individual address setups.

    Therefore the original delivery system will be reinstated.

    I am working on a new delivery system that will send the episodes to each individual seperately (without costing me a fortune, due to the large amount of readers, and I wish to keep the cost of the book down).

    An alternative is for you to set up a free amail address with say yahoo, just for receiving the book. Therefore there is no threat of compromise to your original address.

    Just email myself with your original and new address and it will be changed. A few of my readers have done this.

    Although to date *goes off to find some wood to touch* I have had no comeback with the current method.

    By the way, in Northern Australia they have just found a Cane Toad the size of a small dog! Croak! :eek:
