Hi Jim:
I have been meaning to write and let you know that your submissions are
awesome. They are a pleasure to validate.
I believe that it took me about 20 minutes to validate your submissions.
Thank you for your hard work. As both a scanner and a validator I appreciate
it.
I most definitely agree with your comments
about validating.

To the validating perfectionists,
While the time and effort you spend is wonderful and admirable, spending
hours or days validating for fifty cents is ridiculous unless you have an
inner drive and the satisfaction you receive for a perfect job is twenty
times the remuneration.
In the beginning, Jesse's estimated time for a validation was twenty
minutes. I spend from two to three hours removing junk characters and
spell checking after scanning and from the bookshare ratings and the
comments I have had from many of the validators my scans are quite
acceptable.
In my opinion if it takes much longer to correct errors the book should be
rejected and the submitter should receive no credits.
Perhaps it might encourage better submissions.
Jim
