I disagree with this sentiment. I'm earning fifty cents a validation. Adding another $2.50 is not going to affect my performance on a validation, positively or negatively. I don't do it for the money, but for the chance to contribute to Bookshare. In fact, if I could donate my credits next year, I would. -----Original Message----- From: bksvol-discuss-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:bksvol-discuss-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Evan Reese Sent: Monday, September 25, 2006 11:29 AM To: bksvol-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Re: a sort of raise for validators The first thought that occurred to me was that perhaps this may just encourage validators to do the minimum work on each book to get them through faster; which would mean no fixing up. ----- Original Message ----- From: "E." <thoth93@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <bksvol-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Monday, September 25, 2006 1:57 AM Subject: [bksvol-discuss] a sort of raise for validators > Let's begin by noting that neither submitters or validators do this for > money.
