U know, yall, I'm just a newby so a) I don't wanna tick any1 off; & b)
therefore this observation doesn't count--but there have been books up
there on step 1 for months that say hold for so-&-so. I won't take
them, & I think others feel likewise, because first I believe & I
think others do also that doing so bespeaks a lack of integrity &,
2nd, well, folks get bent out of shape when a book held for them gets
taken. So, there they sit, & somehow that doesn't seem quite right to
me. But, like I said, I'm just a newby & what do I know? Still, it
seems to me from an admin point of view that this hold for tag should
be stripped from a title if not taken in a reasonable period, say 5
days to a week. Probably could be built in2 a crawler or bott or
whatever u wanna call it. Obviously there might be exceptions to why
a book should be held longer, e.g., it's in a foreign language & there
are only a few validators who read that or it requires some sort of
specialized knowledge possessed by 1 or only a few validators--but the
books whereof I speak do not seem to fall in a category like that.
Just a thought, my dad used to say I didn't get paid to think, & yeah,
he's probably right--it's likely worth exactly what yall paid for it,
but, o, well.
