why should anyone else do your work for you?
it's not my job to send error-reports to a specific place. or indeed, even to prepare the things in the first place... and neither is it your job to forward error-reports on. or anyone else's job either, for that matter. granted... so i don't think anyone can be assessed "blame" here. i'm just curious about how long an error-report will be left laying around before _someone_ acts on it, even though it's _not_ their "job" to do so... -bowerbird

To what purpose? Waste time? We're not here to babysit. There's a place for error reports to be sent, and it's completely beside the point to leave them "laying around" waiting for someone else to pick them up. Do you leave your dirty laundry on the ground waiting for someone else to pick it up and put it away? Come on, let's be reasonable here. Better to use that time to further the cause and get more eBooks made (or send the error reports to the proper place so we can fix them and move on). I suspect these are wasted words, though, judging from your e-mails in the archive. ~sigh~ Ben -- Ben Crowder <ben.crowder@gmail.com> MSN: ben.crowder@gmail.com Website: http://www.blankslate.net/ Blog: http://www.topofthemountains.net/
The buck stops here. Send error messages to me, and then keep after me to make sure they are followed up on. You can also report errors directly to: bugs@pglaf.org or send updated files to errata@pglaf.org but please continue to also send directly to me. Please resend to me if you don't hear from them within a few days. This is from an FAQ that I include in replies to error messages. Thanks! Michael S.
