Ann!

I really do agree with you about this being a job, and that we do have an
obligation to submit quality work (both scans and proofread material), but I
think discussing individuals who do not submit quality work is not
productive. In my opinion, the way to address this is through Pavi, and not
a discussion list such as this. *smile*

Blessings.

Hi all,

Well, seems to me that if a volunteer makes it so difficult to contact her,
that's not fair.  There are avenues now set up so that volunteers can
communicate with each other.  If this lady refuses to put her email address
where it can be located, and continues to submit less than quality work,
then perhaps Pavi should tell her that although we appreciate her efforts,
she's either got to sit up and fly straight or resign from volunteering.

As for Denise's concern, Iffin you don't bother to sign up for the volunteer
list, and you don't bother to make your email address current and available
to proofers, then you deserve everything you get.  This is a job!  Yeh, it's
a volunteer job, but if you are doing a sloppy job, either somebody else has
got to pull your weight as well as 
his/her own, or a patron will get a less than accurate scan.   Sorry, 
but life is not always fair or courteous or forgiving.  It shouldn't be.  If
you fail at something, then you need to either learn from your mistakes and
improve, or you need to acknowledge the fact that you cannot do the job at
hand and do something else.

Ann P.
