We've thought about it. But it'd have to be done manually and I have enough trouble remembering to even make the announcement threads. Maybe I'll talk to Brian about putting just a generic "discuss this book" link that just sends people to the forums as a whole. I really don't know if it would work though.

The message appears like a visitors message to my profile rather than a Private Message. I think that is why it does not land in my in box and my replies appear to go nowhere. I am going to try sending you a direct PM rather than a reply.

I sent a direct PM and it shows in my sent box this time. You should have it.

Visitor messages are not the same as private messages. To be honest I don't even know how to leave a visitor message anymore.

This is a ? for Brian Freeman. I don't see a credit so far for September. I have the CD Credit. How much longer does the CD Credit continue? ~Cap

Might want to message Brian directly. He doesn't necessarily follow every thread on here.

So I love living in the Northwest. We do have live volcanos and forest fires though. This morning I awoke to a house filled with smoke from forest fires. It did not cool down last night so my AC was running and it pulled in the smoke that had rolled in. Turned on all my exhaust fans and coughed my way through morning conference calls. I have a pretty good headache but the smoke level in my house is now improving. The smoke appears to be thinning outside as well. There is now enough light that the outdoors lights have now shut off.

Stay safe, Martin in your corner up there.

I am safe, just smoke and ash. Many people I work with are evacuated, packed and ready to evacuate or have evacuated family with them at the moment. A coworker sent me photos he took as he was evacuating his sister Tuesday. One of the photos is of a hillside of trees in flames as they drive by. As of this morning his sister still does not know if her house has burned. Multiple people working for the company I work for have confirmed lost homes.

That's awful.

That's awful.

The fire situation up here is really bad. As of last night 1 of 9 persons in the state of Oregon were under evacuation orders. It is estimated that in the City of Malden Washington 80% of the structures in the city have burned. Multiple cities in Oregon are fully evacuated with no current information on what has burned.
