Yeah this is true. If everybody did one thing, then nothing else would get 
done. that is team work.

  Hi Gwen!

  One thing I do is read every word of a scan before I submit it. It is a slow 
process, but I have caught many scanning errors that way. That's also one of 
the reasons why I proofread many more books than I scan. That too is what makes 
are volunteer community so great. Some of us prefer to scan and some of us 
prefer to proofread.

  Blessings.

  That makes  sense on the first question Thanks.
  I guess I just wish there were a way when you goof up and you know your scans 
most likely won't make it if there would be a way you could reject them 
yourself, clear your  books so you could have a clean slate.
  Thanks

    Hi Gwen,

    As to the first question, it used to be that scanners could proofread, 
(validate), as it used to be called), their own works. However, that was 
changed because having a different proofreader can find mistakes that the 
original scanner missed. Seeing with fresh eyes, in a manner of speaking. I 
know that I have made mistakes in books I submitted that were caught by the 
proofreader, so I think this is a good system.

    Not sure I understand your second question, though.

    Evan

      I'm wondering if there are people who have no trouble submitting books 
their books are always excepted no matter what.
      Why  couldn't they be allowed to scan and proof their own books if they 
so desired?
      Question 2:
      Why can't a scanner at least be allowed to clear their  book lists so 
they can start over with no books pending?
      Thanks
      Gwen
