>>>That's, IMO, the main trouble with citizen publishing - there's nobody standing behind you with any authority, there's no guarantee that any editor has even heard the title of your work, or that anyone has proofread it at all, you're just one more writer in the crowd. If you look around Lulu, for instance, you'll find all sorts of them there, and I sometimes think I may be in wrong company.

See!

"Correct"

>I'd be a very nasty proofreader, and soon you'd read a headline "writers lynched the editor". But that's still nothing compared to what I went through in the epic age of early DTP. Some seven jobs ago we were typesetting some newspapers and books, which was mostly my job. Brother of one of our programmers had a printshop, and it was pretty much a family business, so we had an actual proofreader - who was then busy elsewhere. It so happened that we'd put the newspaper together all Sunday and finish it at 7 AM on Monday, when the owner would take the laser printed pages to the big printing house in Belgrade. We'd stay for another coffee, and then the folks would start coming to work, seeing the desks full of next-to-last printouts. And this guy would walk from the door to the desk, and would within six seconds point his finger into a nasty typo in a front page headline, that six of us couldn't notice all night! And of course it was too late.
