Well, if you clean up the junk using a replace with
nothing, and make sure all the pages are there, and
make certain you press the book binding firmly, and
submit books with a fairly wide interest, those
validators who do read through can mke the
corrections. On the other hand, if you read through
before submitting, and post here that you've done so,
then the book is more likely to be taken quicklyu and
validated by people who are happy to have an easy book
to do for a change. smile

I tried to change the
law that forbids me from submitting or validating
anything I hadn't actually
read through after I got K1000. I certainly
wouldn't have considered
changing it before I got it. But after
investigation, I have found that the
votes in my psychical legislature still aren't there
to make the change. So
I am going to have to read through a couple of books
I agreed to submit
later this month. I was hoping that with ranked
spelling and confidence
levels that I could put the bill through, but it
died in committee, so to
speak. Too many junk characters near the spine of
the book, despite my best
efforts, especially in the early pages. Ranked
spelling doesn't appear to
catch them. I don't want my books looking like
that. That was the real
sticking point. If I could find a way to eliminate
them, I might try again
to change the policy. Chopping the book is not an
option I am prepared to
countenance.
