Well, I was taking your description for granted, I will admit that.
not really. i said roger expected the postprocessor to do all of the work. you were the one who misinterpreted this as "quality control". quality-control is done _after_ the last person does the work. when the postprocessor does all the work, there's no one left to do any quality-control. so that's one of the main problems. (the other main problem is that stripping the first-line workers of the ability to finalize the page means you disempower them. "match the scan" sounds all friendly and tolerant, but -- in the long run -- it robs the proofers of a sense of accomplishment. what it boils down to is that roger solved the wrong problem... instead of "relieving proofers" of the risk of "making an error", he should have given them the reward of _finishing_the_page_.)
No mention on his HP, I am not in the forums.
you can find roger's post here:
note that the thread continues on for a few pages... and that continuation is exactly what a knowledgeable observer would have predicted, both for what is said and what is missing. (the part that's "missing" is an absence of commentary from the asses behind the scenes who obstruct any progress over there.) -bowerbird
