Remember though that some of us are teams that scan and proof together.
Susan and I do this. I scan, she proofs, then I put it up and she
immediately gets it to "proof" and puts it right back up.

OK! <smile> I am way way behind in reading, "jiffy proofers," are just
those who don't take the needed time to "proof," a book in the correct
manner, cut corners as well as whole chapters in order to make stats!
That is unfortunate! Hope the practice has stopped!

Madeleine or Brenda off list (though feel free to mention that you have done
so to the list-I suggest emailing off list to make sure we get it). We will
then spend extra time checking the original scan against the
possibly-jiffy-proofed one.
