Mark -- That's not a very convincing argument for *not* indexing online
books. However, I'm going to leave it right there. Although I have
enjoyed our friendly little debate and would like to continue it, I am
going to "release myself from the old paradigms of restricting
structures" for a few days. I'm going to Seattle to present a workshop
on (what else?) Indexing Skills at the STC Regional Conference; my
husband is coming with me ... we're taking Amtrak (with an economy
bedroom) all the way, and it should be a beautiful trip this time of
year. And I'm going to smile, and every day will be a nice day as I
kick back and watch the scenery go by. Hope you have a nice day, too ....
