I've been giving this proofreading issue a lot of thought. I would think most of the people on this list are dedicated, caring and loyal volunteers of Bookshare. Why else would we be on the list? To learn, to make our submissions, whether they are scanning or proofreading, the best they can be. My suggestion is that membership to the list be a prerequisite for volunteering. That way, maybe the people who aren't reading would read these messages. I understand there are no guarantees, but at least there's the possibility. I've learned a lot from the list, gotten some good ideas, skipped some that didn't apply, saved many. I class the reading of this list as part of my volunteer time. If it were made mandatory for volunteers to be on the list, they may not read it, but would at least have the material laid out for them. Ideas? Comments? Mickey
