Congratulations on reaching 1.5M!

Some of these 0 submitters do have entries credited to them!
Not all transcribers are comfortable and confident using the computer to
manage files on someone else's site.
I have uploaded files for members of my syndicate who have had trouble doing
so.
I also discovered that I can manage their files when they give me their
userid and password. Their stats are then published.
I know of one who registered by mistake, a "new-to-computers and the
internet" who signed up for everything in sight!
I agree with the suggestion of sending a de-list message... if only to
shorten the scrolling time.........
