Here's the thing: this is a copyrighted book. I have the blessing of the editor to enlist help in converting them to ebook for eventual free download. But I think what he means is, once we have clean, professional-quality versions, then they'll be posted on the site. And perhaps to other sites, such as Baen Free Library. Maybe here. But I don't have the standing to offer carte-blanche permission to put these up anywhere, any time.

So would you mind taking them down for now, please? (And would you like to oversee conversion to .lit, once we have the completed source?)

Thanks.

And to Nate and others, could you please run your efforts past me privately before posting anything in a public place? Mea culpa--I should have said that first.

Thanks, everyone.
Sorry Jeff! I see that they've already been taken down...
Glad to help with the lit creation...

Just so excited by the stories that I couldn't resist...
I hope I didn't stir up a hornet's nest for you --- no harm intended! And Nate, I can't wait to see your polished product --- "the real thing."
