I did not <intend> to imply that we should do a "bag insert". Not 
knowing the full meaning of "bag insert", I concede that we either 
don't qualify for it; or whatever assessment is appropriate.

It just seemed like a decent estimate <on the high side> for number 
of CDs to burn; if we should decide to do it.

My guess is that you are more enthusiastic about doing another CD 
than I am. Having some kind of idea of "how many to burn" is 
desirable; as is knowing how many of us are willing to participate in 
the process ( authoring, burning, labeling, et. al. )

"feeling no obligation to make a CD for everyone" is fine with me. We 
should acknowledge this from the start. No need to panic as we did 
two years ago when the supply ran out.
