Hi all,
Roger, you're making a mountain out of a mole hill. My suggestion
would be if a book stays on hold for longer than six months, then ask
the person for whom it's being held if they still want it. Some books,
for example, are being held for the India Project and they need time to
get to them. Others are being held for regular volunteers. I have
known some consciencious volunteers who have given up their holds
because they couldn't deal with them any more for a variety of reasons.
See, Roger, the hold For was established so that a given pair of
submitter and validator could work together. Some people want specific
validators to work on their submissions. Others have submitted books
requested by volunteers who have said they will validate if someone will scan.
These are all valid reasons for hold-fors. My advice, let the system
alone, it's working. Don't fix it!
Now, if you're worried about somebody leaving us to travel to Heaven or
that other place, we'd know. This is a pretty tight list of folks, and
if somebody doesn't show who usually does show around here, somebody's
gonna notice. the grapevine is alive and well. If somebody makes
that Long Journey, we'll know.
