I am not doing this lately, but when I first started proofreading I downloaded several books at a time and examined them to decide which one I wanted to proofread and then released all but one. It might have looked like I was downloading to just collect books from the checkout list, but I was actually deleting the ones I released immediately. _ _ _ "Capitalism is war; socialism is peace." - Karl Liebnecht Follow me on Twitter: http://twitter.com/rogerbailey81 The Militant: http://www.themilitant.com Pathfinder Press: http://www.pathfinderpress.com Granma International: http://www.granma.cu/ingles/index.html ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jamie Yates, CPhT" <mirxtech@xxxxxxxxx> To: <bksvol-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Friday, November 19, 2010 12:01 PM Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Re: Puzzled about all our new vounteer requests >I would be wary about people wanting to volunteer solely to read books.
