Guido,
Given all the other stuff that isn't nuked, I find it amazing that you'd
seriously suggest nuking a file for a bad or missing synopsis. It would be
absolutely unforgivable, in my not so humble opinion, to nuke an otherwise
exellent quality text because a synopsis went missing. Sure, its nice to have
meaningful synopses. but get real. Its hardly worth nuking the book because one
is not present. A volunteer who is validating could possibly
find one on amazon or Books A Million or bn.com, although I'm not sure of the
later. Just look in the reviews for the ones that say "book description". those
are taken from the book jacket and aren't copyright
protected. I agree that the original submitter should do it. But if they don't,
for heaven's sake, don't nuke the book just for that reason.
If we're worried about providing quality to paid subscribers, then nothing less
then excellent quality texts should be allowed on the site. And then we'd
irritate the folks who say, no! Any book is better than none at all.
