Wow, that would equal a whole whack of books that essentially have to be
redone, sigh.

Between them? Julie Barrett alone has gotten 109 just since late January,
January 25. The other one has been volunteering since 2004 so I didn't check to
see when he started his marathon jiffy proofing. Anyway, I hope that Pavi's
recent comments on this matter portend that it will stop now.

Hi all,
Tracy, the deal is that there are two jiffy proofers who between them have
hogged over one hundred books since January. These two people have depleted
the amount of books available for proofers, and instead of putting out these
books for the two jiffy proofers, we'd rather work with individual scanners
for the moment. I'm sure that as soon as these Jiffy proofers have been
squelched, we'll go back to normal operations.
