Please understand Rose that we are talking here about someone renewing a
book again and again for many many months and then releasing it without
validating. We all have busy lives. Please understand we are referring to
something quite different from what you describe. We all appreciate what
you attempted and understand. Please feel welcome. We can sometimes be an
argumentative strong minded lot.

I was not going to weigh in on this issue, however, I signed up to be a volunteer early in the year and almost immediately had other things happening that kept me from doing anything. Then I submitted one book. And again did nothing for a while. I then downloaded a huge book, worked on it evenings and weekends for a couple of weeks and could not upload it.
Since that time I have not taken anything off the step one page, again partly because of the problems I had with my only attempt at validating. I have about four books here scanned but am waiting for K1000 version 10 to arrive so I can fix some issues with tables before submitting them.
I work sometimes 50 hours a week at my job, have other things happening in my life and I might at some time be one of those people who would renew a book and continue working on it rather than submit a bad copy.
Should I give up being a volunteer and never ever attempt another validation because in someone's opinion I might take too long to get the project done? I cannot spend all day working on the computer and then submit a book hours after I downloaded it unless I meet the minimum requirements for validation, check copyright and send it back.

Same here. I volunteered, submitted a couple of books, and then think I went over a year doing nothing else. But nor did I download anything from the step 1 page.
