I agree with Elizabeth. If all scanners pre-validated carefully before submitting the difference in the credit scale would make sense. The validator's job would go quickly and perhaps only merit 50 cents. But so far it's been the other way around. I think our new scanners are doing a lot better job, but up to now so many scanners just scan and submit without checking anything. A lot of you here on the list are exceptions, thank goodness; I won't name you because I might omit somene who doesn't deserve to be omitted, but you know who you are. But until everyone does as good a job as you, the pay rate should me more equal. I'd suggest one dollar for validating instead of 50 cents, which is still less than half the scanning rate, right? And since apparently, based on what was posted recently, few volunteers actually pay for their memberships that way--were there only 5 or 7? I would think bookshare could afford it. smile Cindy Cindy __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
