I really appreciate the efforts of these wonderful volunteers

I assume mr. big dog has a small brain. The free service for the blind like me is to be respected and and not criticized! I hope I never meet big dog k. Hey big dog, Audible has a plan for $14.99/mo. Go there and leave these readers alone. ps. your command of English is clumsy and awkward!

I have found diminished liking to listen farther than section two. I understand geographic vocal separations in the Americas. I feel the over emphasis on syllabi is draining my attention span. The words are seemingly sung at parts and have removed my appreciation for Poe and his stories.
