[bksvol-discuss] Re: please more submits so I can proof read

I think that is exactly why there are now so few books on the download list. 
It is not because there are so many proofreaders. It is because there are a 
few proofreaders who are not proofreading. I have identified at least two of 
them who regularly check out books and check them in within minutes and they 
seem 
to do it on a daily basis. In the earlier discussion about the many hold fors 
I was leaning toward the anti hold for camp because they made it difficult to 
browse for books to proofread that were not spoken for. Now I am beginning to 
think that holding a book for someone is the only way to ensure that it is 
properly proofread. I cannot really think of a solution except maybe requiring 
all proofreaders to be on this list so the rest of us can shame them into doing 
their job. However, that is not the best solution either because I myself 
have considered on occasion unsubscribing because the traffic is so heavy. I 
don't think that requiring the proofreader to keep the book a few days will 
work 
because if one has no interest in doing the work one will just let it sit a few 
days and then upload it. One thing I did was to submit a book late at night. 
I did that last night with a Helen Keller book I just scanned. It seems that 
if a book is submitted late at night it has a better chance of staying on the 
list for a little while so that someone who might be interested in it might see 
it.

The two books i submitted earlier today have already been accepted into the 
collection! *shakes head*  Both books were over 300 pages and were checked in,
in the case of one, less than an hour after I submitted it.  

*sigh* I try guys, really I do. This is the kind of situation that makes me 
 wish books couldn't  be checked in the same day they're checked out. 

*sigh* 

I hope they're ok...
