Thanks, Julie. I'm okay now and one reason is because I have gotten such
supportive letters from the group. I didn't know you have hearing loss. I
cannot read tapes either because of the same reason.

Hi, Sue. We all have those days sometimes. It can get frustrating sometimes,
especially when we set such high standards for ourselves, then maybe we get
a particularly frustrating book that makes us pull our hair out trying to
live up to those standards. Just know that, even if someone downloads a book
and doesn't know you're the one who validated it, it is appreciated because
a lot of the books up on the site aren't available any other way, especially
for people like me who don't do tapes because of a hearing problem. I have
access to books now that I wouldn't read otherwise, and I appreciate that.
It's even appreciated that much more when the book is of excellent quality,
so while the person might not know you were the one who made that book so
good, they do appreciate the effort that went into it. Take care.

II don't know what got into me yesterday.. When I first became a member I
asked that I not be paid for validating--said that it is volunnteer work..
I was told that the payment of 50 cents plan couldn't be changed manually..
You and Allison are right, Cindy, and I apologize to the group for saying
what I said yesterday. I do not have scanning equipment so validating is
something I can do and because of my past work experience I have the
necessary skills..

Sarah, you do get 50 cents credit for validating. Most
of us think it should be more, because in many cases
the submitter doesn't do much to it before submission
(there are quite a few exceptions, mainly the
submitters that are here in the discussion group, so
maybe "many" is not a fair word -- on the other hand,
I don't know how many submitters are not in the
discussion), and validating takes time and effort.
Although if one is careful and downloads books from
people like the ones here on the list, (I don't want
to mention names because I'm afraid I'll omit someone)
who do pre-validate before submitting, it's an easy
chore and worth the 50 cents.
