Hi Ernie, I think for the most part what you say is true. I have to admit that for a while I was timid about submitting. I submitted a book once that was taken for validation. When I looked on the download page later it was there. Knowing that it was a pretty good scan, I downloaded it to see what the problem was. It was far worse than the copy I submitted. I took my copy, read and re-submitted it. Since then, I try to do that most of the time. Recently I uploaded The White Indian series. I hope someone who enjoys reading them will validate them. In watching this site, I can tell who takes this mission seriously. I can't tell you how many things I have learned. Jane D.
