[bksvol-discuss] Re: Thoughts On Older Books On Step 1

I would love to receive double credit for validating textbooks. When I validate 
anything, I usually read every word and this is a really tedious process. In 
the end, I am getting quite an education. I would happy to validate all the 
older books on literary criticism if I could get more credit for doing so.

every year; this and the fact that they are difficult to find make me 
unwilling to tackle them. I would rather see books on the list for over a 
year simply removed and held in a special list as are books needing a rescan 
just in case someone decides to validate them, but this way the list would 
be kept shorter. If I saw a textbook on the wish list, that would be a 
different matter, but I much prefer validating a book when I have a copy of 
it to refer to.
