Amen, aloisious.
I am in full agreement.
And as your rejecting all those books, please e-mail booksharescans@xxxxxxx
 with title/author.

This way "no book will be left behind."

  I know this will sound so dreadfully heartless,  no Charitable Seasonal 
spirit and all the rest.  But It takes a grand total of just 1 hour and 5 
minutes to scan an entire 450 page paperback book,  page breaks, font info, and 
all the rest.  Than it takes about 90 minutes to do some basic cleanup, and 
finally an average of a couple of hours to spellcheck it. 

  I really do not understand why we are even bothering to discuss salvage 
operations for DOA submissions,  when the culling ax and a quick rescan is the 
only merciful course of action for most of these runts.

  Hi Cindy, 

  We're still working on it. (Gotta love consensus, huh?) Look for a
  message from me by the end of the week. 

  Did everyone have a good Christmas? 

  Marissa

  Hi, Marissa,

  Thanks for the new list.

  Is there any word yet on what to do with txt files or
  if they will be accepted without hard breaks, with
  spaces and page numbers instead? That doesn't prevent
  the breaks Word puts in in the wrong places, but by
  adding line spaces or changing font the file can
  probably be made to coincide with the book.

  When I finish Johnny Tremain I'm thinking of fixing
  one of those troublesome romances, since I found a
  copy. As things stand now, I think  the best thing for
  me to do is to reject the txt file and submit a new
  rtf file with page breaks.

  Cindy
