I agree and plan to slow down myself, and spend a lot more time cleaning up before submitting. I agree also with what Cindy said with regard to validating. Why not spend time that we would have spent scanning, cleaning up instead. Submit books the way that we would want them to look after validation, and then if somebody doesn't download them within a week or so, validate them ourselves. Submit say five good clean copies rather than ten copies that we haven't gone through ourselves. At least until we've placed a dent in this ever growing list. Pam
