People I changed the subject line here, because when I originally the message, let's get tough. I was talking about scanning and validaters. Now you are talking about headers. Change the subject line when the topic doesn't apply please.

Yes it does, as it removes the page numbers too! which are used to tag the book properly and allow those of us who want them to read to a certain page, 
or cite the book in a paper.

PLEASE strip headers by hand leaving the page numbers!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Robert,
I have a question about the headers. I am afraid to use the header/footer 
stripper in my Openbook...should I be doing this with all my scans?  I am
afraid I will distort the text.  Thanks in advance.

Thanks Monica you explained it better than I did. I have seen a few books 
with the headers still in them and there have a lot of books with errors
in them but I am not on anyone's case or anything All of us that includes 
scanners have to do a better job.

Hi, Mickey. I think people are basically saying that since we're being
paid more credit to validate, let's do a good job and not just pass
stuff through the system. In the past, some people would validate a
bunch of books to earn a year's membership. They didn't spend much time
in individual books because they knew they'd have had to validate 100
books in a year to earn next year's membership. That has changed now. I
could be wrong, but I think people are just encouraging each other to
raise the bar of what's acceptable validation. You have always been a
careful validater, Mickey, so I don't see that this would change a lot
for you. (smile) You taught me a lot about being a good validater. I
used to be the kind of person who would just get a book and read it,
ignoring small errors and only stopping if I literally couldn't read
something. That has changed, and you, Sue, Katie, and Elizabeth are all
responsible for helping me make that change. It didn't happen overnight
or even over a period of weeks. It took me a good year or more to
finally understand and then incorporate careful validation principles
into how I do things. It's taken another year for me to refine the
process, to use a system to do these things quickly and comfortably.

I think I'll do pretty much the same job I've always done, because I
think all of us are doing our best. I don't know that we should change
our criteria for accepting or rejecting a book. We validators work
hard to make the best product we can. Because we've changed our rate
of pay, I don't quite understand what that has to do with the
scanners. Maybe I'm missing something.
