HI, Gerald. Well, good! I'm glad you bugged him about them. <smile> I appreciate this list and the people on here who do have the contact with the staff that most of us don't have, and I appreciate the answers you guys get to our questions. Take care. Julie Morales Life is a gift from God. What we do with it is our gift to Him. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Gerald Hovas" <geraldhovas@xxxxxxxxxxx> To: <bksvol-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Wednesday, February 01, 2006 11:50 PM Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Re: Question I wouldn't expect it to be widely known either. That's why I replied when Jake and you mentioned it. Even if some of the volunteers who have been around a long time knew it, I doubt that new volunteers would. I only knew because I've bugged Gustavo quite a few times about how things work because of questions the list has had and because Kellie has been very good to explain to me what she learned during her time as list monitor.

Jake's reply is simply saying that Gustavo has access to the comments that the form says are directed to the validator, and my reply is that Gustavo has mentioned to me that he does refer to the submitter's comments in that field during the administrative approval process.

Frankly, it didn't occure to me to mention that to her, too, when I sent her some pages that had been garbled iin the scan. If would be so much better if whoever questions something about a book, like the copyright or a question like is it a screenplay, asks the submitter or the validator. I don't think most validators check the page one list after they've approved a book, so neither validator nor submitter knows that there are questions. Books sit so long in the admin q that if the submitter doesn't get an accepted note he/she probably forgets, or thinks it's just in the queue.
