Monica, I am with you, I Hate proof reading and is why I only scan and
submit but don't validate. In fact the most unfavorable thing is running
the spell check, hence the reason it is never done on my books. Selfish,
you bet, smile.

Dog ownership is like a rainbow.
Puppies are the joy at one end.
Old dogs are the treasure at the other.

I hate to admit this, but I do validation for the credits. I would
scan exclusively otherwise because I don't enjoy proofreading very
much. I think I'd still help out often, but I can't say I'd do it
with as much focus. If you think less of me, that's ok. I'm just
being real. I admire people like Cindy and hope I'll become more
like her. At heart, I know myself well though and have to face my
own reality before I can change it. If the credit system wasn't in
place, and I'd be paying for my membership either way, I would
probably help out once a month or so, not each week. I wouldn't
consider validating though. I'd just scan and submit. And if things
got tough, like they did with the admin queue last April, I'd quit
doing even that. So to me, the credit system is a major source of
motivation. I do think that making validation credits a dollar would
encourage people like me to do more of that activity. After all, we
need validation before books can be submitted.
