I wouldn't call it insane. I'd call it caring about what you do and wanting what you validate to be the best quality you can make it. Definitely no harm in that. Take care.

I guess I am a little insane. I actually use a spell checker on the books which I am validating and do my best to bring them up to excellent quality.

I am now validating a novel on which I have to decide whether the text is readable enough or not. The book is all there, I can follow the story, but there are a lot of words scrambled and missing. Where does one draw the line between accepting it as a fair book or canning it? It has been sitting in the pool for a couple of months with no one touching it. The book is scanned by a frequent contributor though this particular book doesn't come up to what has been done by this individual in the past. I could easily return it to the pool; but this likely would place the book in limbo for who knows how long? So, how poor does fair text have to be to be bad text? --- Incoming mail is certified Virus Free. Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com).
