I put holdf fors on books for people I know or who ask for them. I don't
know you but if you get one of my books and do a good job, I'll sure hold
things for you.

I take offense at this notion that only certain select people are "reliable"
proofers. I never get "hold fors", which is fine by me. It doesn't mean
I'm just some careless jiffy-proofer. I understand submitters don't want
the careless proofers, but I think there are a lot more reliable folks out
there than some people seem to think. It just smells to me like in-crowd
foolishness.
