O.K. That's why I asked. Thank you for explaining. Certainly Jamie and I are not complaining, but I was asking, since, as has been discussed before, that limits the number of people who can validate the submissions, sighted or blind. And when people aren't allowed to validate their own submissions, that limits the number of available validators even further. I was asking for information, not complaining, and I'm sorry if I didn't make that clear. Perhaps the sentences and phrases which I thought were clearly asking ("Is it that the programs can't convert to rtf?" "...that books should be submitted in rtf--unless, of course, it can't be done--the conversion before submission, I mean.") should have been made more visible.
