Yeah this is true. If everybody did one thing, then nothing else would get done. that is team work. ----- Original Message ----- From: Lynn I To: bksvol-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Tuesday, November 17, 2009 10:53 AM Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Re: questions please and thank you delete if don't like how I write. 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.

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.

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 No virus found in this incoming message.
